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