Isaiah 52:1-8

11AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, ClotheH3847 yourselfH3847 in your strengthH5797, ZionH6726; ClotheH3847 yourselfH3847 with your 2beautifulH8597 garmentsH899, JerusalemH3389, the 3holyH6944 cityH5892; For the uncircumcisedH6189 and the 4uncleanH2931 Will noH3808 longerH3254H5750 comeH935 into you.2ShakeH5287 yourself 5from the dustH6083, 6riseH6965 upH6965, CaptiveH7628 JerusalemH3389; 7ReleaseH6605 yourself from the chainsH4147 around your neckH6677, CaptiveH7628 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726.

3For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “You were 8soldH4376 forH2600 nothingH2600, and you will be 9redeemedH1350 10withoutH3808 moneyH3701.” 4For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 11GodH3068 saysH559: “My peopleH5971 12wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714 firstH7223 to resideH1481 thereH8033; then the AssyrianH804 oppressedH6231 them withoutH657 reasonH657. 5And nowH6258, whatH4100 do I have hereH6311,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “seeingH3588 thatH3588 My peopleH5971 have been takenH3947 away withoutH2600 reasonH2600?” Again the LordH3068 declaresH5002, “Those who ruleH4910 over them howlH3213, and My 13nameH8034 is continuallyH8548 reviledH5006 allH3605 dayH3117 long. 6ThereforeH3651, My peopleH5971 shall 14knowH3045 My nameH8034; thereforeH3651 on that dayH3117 I am the one who is speakingH1696, ‘HereH2009 I am.’”

7HowH4100 delightfulH4998 on the mountainsH2022 Are the feetH7272 of one who bringsH1319 15goodH1319 newsH1319, Who announcesH8085 16peaceH7965 And bringsH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319 of 17happinessH2896, Who announcesH8085 salvationH3444, And saysH559 to ZionH6726, “Your 18GodH430 19reignsH4427!”8ListenH6963! Your watchmenH6822 raiseH5375 their 20voicesH6963, They shoutH7442 joyfullyH7442 togetherH3164; For they will seeH7200 21with their ownH5869 eyesH5869 When the LordH3068 restoresH7725 ZionH6726.
