Isaiah 52:1-8

1AwakeH5782, awakeH5782; put onH3847 thy strengthH5797, O ZionH6726; put onH3847 thy beautifulH8597 garmentsH899, O JerusalemH3389, the holyH6944 cityH5892: for henceforth there shall no moreH3254 comeH935 into thee the uncircumcisedH6189 and the uncleanH2931. 2ShakeH5287 thyself from the dustH6083; ariseH6965, and sit downH3427, O JerusalemH3389: looseH6605 thyself from the bandsH4147 of thy neckH6677, O captiveH7628 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726. 3For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Ye have soldH4376 yourselves for noughtH2600; and ye shall be redeemedH1350 without moneyH3701. 4For thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, My peopleH5971 went downH3381 aforetimeH7223 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there; and the AssyrianH804 oppressedH6231 them without causeH657. 5Now therefore, what have I here, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that my peopleH5971 is taken awayH3947 for noughtH2600? they that ruleH4910 over them make them to howlH3213, saithH5002 YhwhH3068; and my nameH8034 continuallyH8548 every dayH3117 is blasphemedH5006. 6Therefore my peopleH5971 shall knowH3045 my nameH8034: therefore they shall know in that dayH3117 that I am he that doth speakH1696: behold, it is I.

7How beautifulH4998 upon the mountainsH2022 are the feetH7272 of him that bringeth good tidingsH1319, that publishethH8085 peaceH7965; that bringeth good tidingsH1319 of goodH2896, that publishethH8085 salvationH3444; that saithH559 unto ZionH6726, Thy GodH430 reignethH4427! 8Thy watchmenH6822 shall lift upH5375 the voiceH6963; with the voiceH6963 togetherH3162 shall they singH7442: for they shall seeH7200 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, when YhwhH3068 shall bring againH7725 ZionH6726.
