Isaiah 52:6–54:10

6  Therefore my people shall know my name:

Therefore they shall know nin that day othat I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

7  pHow beautiful qupon the mountains are rthe feet of him sthat bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace;

sThat bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation;

That saith unto Zion, tThy God reigneth!

8  Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice;

With the voice together shall they sing:

For uthey shall see eye to eye,

When the Lord shall bring again Zion.

9  vBreak forth into joy, sing together, wye waste places of Jerusalem:

xFor the Lord hath comforted his people, yhe hath redeemed Jerusalem.

10  The Lord hath made bare zhis holy arm in the eyes of all the nations;

aAnd ball the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

11  cDepart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing;

Go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, dthat bear the vessels of the Lord.

12  For eye shall not go out fwith haste,

Nor go by flight:

gFor the Lord will go before you;

And gthe God of Israel will †be your rereward.

13  Behold, hmy servant shall ||deal prudently,

iHe shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

14  As many kwere astonied at thee;

lHis visage was so marred more than any man,

And his form more than the sons of men:

15  So mshall he sprinkle many nations;

nThe kings shall shut their mouths at him:

For othat which had not been told them shall they see;

And that which they had not heard shall they consider.

53 aWho hath believed our ||†report?

And to whom is bthe arm of the Lord revealed?

2  For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,

And as ca root out of da dry ground:

eHe hath no form nor comeliness;

And when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3  fHe is despised and grejected of men;

hA man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:

And ||†iwe hid as it were our faces from him;

He was despised, and kwe esteemed him not.

4  Surely lhe hath borne our griefs,

And carried our sorrows:

Yet we did esteem him mstricken,

nSmitten of God, and afflicted.

5  But ohe was ||pwounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities:

qThe chastisement of qqour peace was upon him;

And rswith his †stripes we are healed.

6  rtAll we like sheep have gone astray;

tWe have turned every one to his own way;

And uthe Lord †hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7  wHe was oppressed, and he was afflicted,

Yet xhe opened not his mouth:

yzHe is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,

And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,

So he openeth not his mouth.

8  y||He was taken from prison and from judgment:

And bwho shall declare his generation?

For che was cut off out of dthe land of the living:

For the transgression of my people †was he stricken.

9  And he made his grave with the wicked,

And ewith the rich in his †death;

fBecause ghe had done no violence,

Neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10  Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath hput him to grief:

||iWhen thou shalt make his soul kan offering for sin,

lHe shall see his seed, mhe shall prolong his days,

And nthe pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11  He shall see of the travail of his soul, and oshall be satisfied:

pBy his knowledge shall qmy righteous rservant sjustify tmany;

uFor he shall bear their iniquities.

12  vTherefore will I divide him a portion with the great,

And whe shall divide the spoil with the strong;

Because he hath xpoured out his soul unto death:

yAnd he was numbered with the transgressors;

And he bare the sin of many,

And zmade intercession for the transgressors.

54 aSing, O barren, thou that didst not bear;

bBreak forth into singing, and ccry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child:

For dmore are the children of ethe desolate than the children of ethe married wife, saith the Lord.

2  fEnlarge the place of gthy tent,

And let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations:

hSpare not, lengthen hhthy cords, and strengthen githy stakes;

3  For thou shalt break forth jon the right hand and on the left;

And kthy seed shall inherit the Gentiles,

And make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4  Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed:

lNeither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame:

For thou shalt forget the shame mof thy youth,

And shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5  For nthy Maker is othine husband;

pThe Lord of hosts is his name;

And qthy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel;

rThe God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6  For the Lord hath called thee sas a woman ssforsaken and grieved in spirit,

And ta wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7  uFor a small moment have I forsaken thee;

But vwith great mercies will I gather thee.

8  In a little wrath wI hid my face from thee ufor a moment;

But xwith everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee,

Saith the Lord qthy Redeemer.

9  For this is as the waters of Noah unto me:

For yas I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth;

zSo have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10  zFor athe mountains shall depart,

And athe hills bbe removed;

But my kindness shall not depart from thee,

Neither shall cthe covenant of my peace be removed,

Saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
