ACV(i)
2 Shake thyself from the dust. Arise, sit up, O Jerusalem. Loose thyself from the bonds of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus says LORD: Ye were sold for nothing, and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 For thus says the lord LORD, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there. And the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what do I do here, says LORD, seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them howl, says LORD, and because of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.
