Isaiah 52

CLV(i) 1 Rouse! Rouse! Clothe yourself with your ornaments, O Zion! Clothe yourself in your beautiful cloaks, Jerusalem, the holy city! For no more shall come into you any longer the uncircumcised and unclean." 2 Shake yourself from the soil! And rise, captive Jerusalem! Unloose for yourself the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!" 3 For thus says Yahweh, "Gratuitously were you sold, and not with silver shall you be redeemed." 4 For thus says my Lord Yahweh, "To Egypt My people descended at first, to sojourn there. And the Assyrian extorted to the limit from it." 5 And now, what is for Me here,averring is Yahweh, "that My people are taken gratuitously? Their rulers are howling,averring is Yahweh, "and continually, the entire day, My name is spurned among the nations." 6 Wherefore, My people are knowing My name, wherefore, in that day, they know that I am He Who is speaking. Behold Me!" 7 How comely on the mountains are the feet of the tidings bearer! Announcing welfare, bearing tidings of good, announcing salvation, saying to Zion, `Your Elohim reigns!'" 8 Your watchmen lift up the voice, with their voice, together are they jubilating, for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion with compassions." 9 Crash! Jubilate together, deserted places of Jerusalem, for Yahweh is comforting His people, and He has redeemed Jerusalem." 10 Yahweh bares His holy arm to the eyes of all the nations, and all the limits of the earth see the salvation of our Elohim." 11 Withdraw! Withdraw! Forth from there! The unclean you must not touch! Forth from her midst! Be pure, you bearers of the vessels of Yahweh!" 12 For not with nervous haste shall you fare forth, and by fleeing, you shall not go, for Yahweh shall go before you, and your Gatherer is the Elohim of Israel. The Elohim of the entire earth shall He be called." 13 Behold! Intelligent will be My Servant, high, and lifted up, and exceedingly lofty." 14 As many are desolated over you--so ruined more than man is His appearance, and His shape than the sons of Adam." 15 So shall He startle many nations, over Him shall kings shut their mouths, for they to whom it had not been related concerning Him, see, and what they had not heard, they consider."
