# Isaiah 52 [[Isaiah 51|←]] • [[Isaiah 53|→]] --- ### 1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. ### 2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. ### 3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. ### 4 For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. ### 5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day blasphemed. ### 6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore in that day that I he that doth speak: behold, I. ### 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! ### 8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion. ### 9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. ### 10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. ### 11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. ### 12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel your rereward. ### 13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. ### 14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: ### 15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for which had not been told them shall they see; and which they had not heard shall they consider.
