Isaiah 52:14 - Prayer Tents

52Wake up, wake up! Pull on your boots, Zion! Dress up in your Sunday best, Jerusalem, holy city! Those who want no part of God have been culled out. They won't be coming along.H5782H5782H3847H5797H6726H3847H8597H899H3389H6944H5892H3254H935H6189H2931 2Brush off the dust and get to your feet, captive Jerusalem! Throw off your chains, captive daughter of Zion!H5287H6083H6965H3427H3389H6605H4147H6677H7628H1323H6726 3GOD says, "You were sold for nothing. You're being bought back for nothing."H559H3068H4376H2600H1350H3701 4Again, the Master, GOD, says, "Early on, my people went to Egypt and lived, strangers in the land. At the other end, Assyria oppressed them.H559H136H3069H5971H3381H7223H4714H1481H804H6231H657 5And now, what have I here?" GOD's Decree. "My people are hauled off again for no reason at all. Tyrants on the warpath, whooping it up, and day after day, incessantly, my reputation blackened.H5002H3068H5971H3947H2600H4910H3213H5002H3068H8034H8548H3117H5006 6Now it's time that my people know who I am, what I'm made of—yes, that I have something to say. Here I am!"H5971H3045H8034H3117H1696 7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger bringing good news, Breaking the news that all's well, proclaiming good times, announcing salvation, telling Zion, "Your God reigns!"H4998H2022H7272H1319H8085H7965H1319H2896H8085H3444H559H6726H430H4427 8Voices! Listen! Your scouts are shouting, thunderclap shouts, shouting in joyful unison. They see with their own eyes GOD coming back to Zion.H6822H5375H6963H6963H3162H7442H7200H5869H5869H3068H7725H6726 9Break into song! Boom it out, ruins of Jerusalem: "GOD has comforted his people! He's redeemed Jerusalem!"H6476H7442H3162H2723H3389H3068H5162H5971H1350H3389 10GOD has rolled up his sleeves. All the nations can see his holy, muscled arm. Everyone, from one end of the earth to the other, sees him at work, doing his salvation work.H3068H2834H6944H2220H5869H1471H657H776H7200H3444H430 11Out of here! Out of here! Leave this place! Don't look back. Don't contaminate yourselves with plunder. Just leave, but leave clean. Purify yourselves in the process of worship, carrying the holy vessels of GOD.H5493H5493H3318H5060H2931H3318H8432H1305H5375H3627H3068 12But you don't have to be in a hurry. You're not running from anybody! GOD is leading you out of here, and the God of Israel is also your rear guard.H3318H2649H3212H4499H3068H1980H6440H430H3478H622 13"Just watch my servant blossom! Exalted, tall, head and shoulders above the crowd!H5650H7919H7311H5375H3966H1361 14But he didn't begin that way. At first everyone was appalled. He didn't even look human— a ruined face, disfigured past recognition.H7227H8074H4758H4893H376H8389H1121H120 15Nations all over the world will be in awe, taken aback, kings shocked into silence when they see him. For what was unheard of they'll see with their own eyes, what was unthinkable they'll have right before them."H5137H7227H1471H4428H7092H6310H5608H7200H8085H995
