Isaiah 52

Amplified Bible

52AWAKE, AWAKE, put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.H5782H5782H3847H5797H6726H3847H8597H899H3389H6944H5892H3254H935H6189H2931 2Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit [erect in a dignified place], O Jerusalem; loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.H5287H6083H6965H3427H3389H6605H4147H6677H7628H1323H6726 3For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.H559H3068H4376H2600H1350H3701 4For thus says the Lord God: My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there; and [many years later Sennacherib] the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing. [Now I delivered you from both Egypt and Assyria; what then can prevent Me from delivering you from Babylon?]H559H136H3069H5971H3381H7223H4714H1481H804H6231H657 5But now what have I here, says the Lord, seeing that My people have been taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them howl [with joy], says the Lord, and My name continually is blasphemed all day long.H5002H3068H5971H3947H2600H4910H3213H5002H3068H8034H8548H3117H5006 6Therefore My people shall know what My name is {and} what it means; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks; behold, I AM!H5971H3045H8034H3117H1696 7How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!H4998H2022H7272H1319H8085H7965H1319H2896H8085H3444H559H6726H430H4427 8Hark, your watchmen lift up their voices; together they sing for joy; for they shall see eye to eye the return of the Lord to Zion.H6822H5375H6963H6963H3162H7442H7200H5869H5869H3068H7725H6726 9Break forth joyously, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem!H6476H7442H3162H2723H3389H3068H5162H5971H1350H3389 10The Lord has made bare His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations [revealing Himself as the One by Whose direction the redemption of Israel from captivity is accomplished], and all the ends of the earth shall witness the salvation of our God.H3068H2834H6944H2220H5869H1471H657H776H7200H3444H430 11Depart, depart, go out from there [the lands of exile]! Touch no unclean thing! Go out of the midst of her [Babylon]; cleanse yourselves {and} be clean, you who bear the vessels of the Lord [on your journey from there].H5493H5493H3318H5060H2931H3318H8432H1305H5375H3627H3068 12For you will not go out with haste, nor will you go in flight [as was necessary when Israel left Egypt]; for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.H3318H2649H3212H4499H3068H1980H6440H430H3478H622 13Behold, My Servant shall deal wisely {and} shall prosper; He shall be exalted and extolled and shall stand very high.H5650H7919H7311H5375H3966H1361 14[For many the Servant of God became an object of horror; many were astonished at Him.] His face {and} His whole appearance were marred more than any man's, and His form beyond that of the sons of men--but just as many were astonished at Him,H7227H8074H4758H4893H376H8389H1121H120 15So shall He startle {and} sprinkle many nations, and kings shall shut their mouths because of Him; for that which has not been told them shall they see, and that which they have not heard shall they consider {and} understand.H5137H7227H1471H4428H7092H6310H5608H7200H8085H995
