Isaiah 52:7-15

7How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 8Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when Yhwh shall bring again Zion.

9Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for Yhwh hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 10Yhwh hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

11Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Yhwh. 12For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for Yhwh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.1

13Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.2 14As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: 15So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
