¹⁷ Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that hast drunk the cup of wrath from the hand of the Lord; for thou didst drink, and didst empty out the cup of falling, the goblet of (his) wrath.

² Shake off the dust, and arise; sit down, O Jerusalem, put off the bond from thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

³ Spread it out yet to the right hand and to the left; and thy seed shall inherit nations, and thou shalt people cities that have been desolate. ⁴ Fear not, because thou wast put to shame; and turn not back, because thou wast reproached; for thou shalt forget thy perpetual shame, and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou not remember. ⁵ For thy Maker is the Lord, the Lord of Hosts is his name; and he that delivereth thee is the very God of Israel, he shall be called (so) in all the earth. ⁶ Not as a woman forsaken [[and faint of heart]] hath the Lord called thee, nor as a woman hated from her youth, saith thy God. ⁷ For a little while I forsook thee, and with great mercy will I have mercy on thee. ⁸ In a little wrath I turned my face away from thee, and in everlasting mercy have I had mercy on thee: saith the Lord thy deliverer.

¹⁵ Because thou hast been forsaken, and hated, and there be none that came to help; and I will set thee for an everlasting triumph, a joy for generations of generations.

⁴ And thou shalt no longer be called Forsaken, and thy land shall not be any more called Desolate; for thy name shall be called My delight, and thy land, Dwelling.

¹⁰ Thy city of the Holy One, Zion, is become desert; Jerusalem is become as a desert: turned to a curse

¹⁰ And in that day shall be the root of Jesse, and he that standeth up to rule over nations; in him shall nations hope. And his rest shall be honour. ¹¹ And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall again show his hand to be jealous for the remnant which is left of the people, whatever be left from the Assyrians, and from Egypt, and Babylonia, and Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising up of the sun, and from Arabia. ¹² And he shall lift up a signal toward the nations, and shall bring together them that are perished of Israel, and them that are scattered of Judah shall he bring together from the four corners of the earth.

² And nations shall take them, and bring them into their place; and they shall make them to inherit it, and shall be multiplied upon the land of God for bondmen and for bondwomen; and they that did carry them into captivity shall be captives, and they that were lords over them shall have them for lords.

³ And kings shall walk by thy light, and nations by thy brightness.

⁹ And they shall say in that day, Behold our God, in whom we ever hoped; and we were triumphant, and will rejoice in our salvation.

¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, Egypt is weary, and the merchandise of the Ethiopians: and the men of Saba, men of lofty stature, shall pass over unto thee, and shall be slaves unto thee, and shall follow behind thee, bound with manacles, and worship before thee, and in thee shall they pray: for in thee is God, and they shall say, There is no God beside thee.

⁷ Thus saith the Lord thy deliverer, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that lightly esteemeth his soul, him that is held abominable by the nations, the slaves of the rulers; kings shall see him, and rulers shall rise up and worship him for the Lord's sake: for faithful is the Holy One of Israel, and I chose thee.

¹⁴ And there shall come unto thee in fear the sons of them that humbled thee and provoked thee; and thou shalt be called, City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel,

² And nations shall see thy righteousness, and kings thy glory; and he shall call thee by thy new name, which the Lord shall name.

⁴ From everlasting have we not heard, nor have our eyes seen [[any God except thee]], and thy works which thou wilt do to them that wait for mercy.

²² And I saw, and the people was plundered and spoiled; for the snare is in treasuries everywhere, and in houses together; where they hid themselves, they became a prey; and there was none that set free a prey, and there was none that said, Restore.

¹² Therefore he shall make many to inherit, and the spoils of the mighty shall he divide; because his soul was given over unto death; and he was reckoned among the transgressors; and himself bare the sins of many, and was given over because of their sins.

²⁷ And it shall be in that day, the fear of him shall be taken away from thee, and his yoke from off thy shoulder, and his yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.

¹¹ Behold, all they that resist thee shall be ashamed and turned backward; for they shall be as though they were not, and all thy adversaries shall perish. ¹² Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find the men who . shall evil intreat thee; for they shall be as though they were not, and they that war against thee shall cease to be.

² Shake off the dust, and arise; sit down, O Jerusalem, put off the bond from thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. ³ For thus saith the Lord, Ye were sold for nought, and not with money shall ye be ransomed. ⁴ Thus saith the Lord, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there, and by force were they led to the Assyrians. ⁵ And now, why are ye here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people were seized for nought, ye marvel and wail. Thus saith the Lord, Because of you my name is continually blasphemed among the nations.

¹³ And (I will make) all thy sons instructed of the Lord, and thy children (to be) in great peace.

¹⁵ Behold, strangers shall approach unto thee through me, and they shall dwell by thee, and flee for refuge to thee. ¹⁶ Behold, I create thee, not as doth a smith that bloweth the coals, and bringeth forth an instrument for a work: but I have created thee not for destruction, to waste thee. ¹⁷ Every instrument is corruptible, but against thee I will not approve it; and every voice that shall stand up against thee for judgment, all them shalt thou vanquish, and they that are subject to thee shall be therein. There is an inheritance for them that attend on the Lord, and ye shall be righteous in my sight, saith the Lord.

⁴ For the yoke that lay upon them shall be taken away, and the rod that was upon their neck; for the Lord hath scattered in pieces the rod of the exactors, as in the day that was upon Midian.

²⁰ But he shall turn aside to the right, because he shall be hungry, and shall eat from the left, and shall not be satisfied; eating (every) man the flesh of his [brother's] arm.

¹⁴ O Jacob, thou little Israel; I have helped thee, saith the God that ransometh thee, Israel. ¹⁵ Behold, I make thee as wheels of a cart, that thresh out; new, with teeth like a saw; and thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat small the hills, and shalt make them as dust. ¹⁶ And thou shalt winnow them, and a wind shall take them, and a tempest shall scatter them. But thou shalt rejoice among the holy things of Israel. ¹⁷ And the poor and the needy shall triumph. For they shall seek water, and there shall be none; their tongue is dried up with thirst. I the Lord God, I the God of Israel will hear, and will not forsake them. ¹⁸ But I will open rivers upon the mountains, and fountains in the midst of the plains; I will make the wilderness into pools, and the thirsty land into watercourses. ¹⁹ I will plant in the waterless land cedar and box, and myrtle and cypress, and white poplar; ²⁰ That they may see, and learn, and understand, and know together that the hand of the Lord hath done all this, and the Holy One of Israel hath shown it forth.

³ For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have made Egypt and Ethiopia thy ransom, and set Syene in thy stead.

⁶ That they from the rising of the sun, and they from the going down (thereof) may learn, that there is none beside me; and that I am the Lord God, and there is none other,
