Isaiah 52:1–15
52 Awake, awake!
Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city!
For the uncircumcised aand the unclean
Shall no longer come to you.
2 bShake yourself from the dust, arise;
Sit down, O Jerusalem!
cLoose yourself from the bonds of your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion!
d“You have sold yourselves for nothing,
And you shall be redeemed ewithout money.”
“My people went down at first
Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here,” says the Lord,
“That My people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them
2Make them wail,” says the Lord,
“And My name is gblasphemed continually every day.
6 Therefore My people shall know My name;
Therefore they shall know in that day
That I am He who speaks:
‘Behold, it is I.’ ”
7 hHow beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion,
i“Your God reigns!”
8 Your watchmen shall lift up their voices,
With their voices they shall sing together;
For they shall see eye to eye
When the Lord brings back Zion.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
You waste places of Jerusalem!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 jThe Lord has 3made bare His holy arm
In the eyes of kall the nations;
And all the ends of the earth shall see
The salvation of our God.
11 lDepart! Depart! Go out from there,
Touch no unclean thing;
Go out from the midst of her,
mBe clean,
You who bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 For nyou shall not go out with haste,
Nor go by flight;
oFor the Lord will go before you,
pAnd the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 Behold, qMy Servant shall 4deal prudently;
rHe shall be exalted and 5extolled and be very high.
14 Just as many were astonished at you,
So His svisage 6was marred more than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men;
15 tSo shall He 7sprinkle many nations.
Kings shall shut their mouths at Him;
For uwhat had not been told them they shall see,
And what they had not heard they shall consider.
Isaiah 66:1–24
66 Thus says the Lord:
a“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?
2 For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
b“But on this one will I look:
cOn him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
3 “He dwho kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he ebreaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood;
He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
4 So will I choose their delusions,
And bring their fears on them;
fBecause, when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
You who tremble at His word:
“Your brethren who ghated you,
Who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,
h‘Let the Lord be glorified,
That iwe may see your joy.’
But they shall be ashamed.”
6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth;
Before her pain came,
She delivered a male child.
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
11 That you may feed and be satisfied
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”
“Behold, jI will extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall kfeed;
On her sides shall you be lcarried,
And be dandled on her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts,
So I will mcomfort you;
And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
The Reign and Indignation of God
14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,
And nyour bones shall flourish like grass;
The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants,
And His indignation to His enemies.
15 oFor behold, the Lord will come with fire
And with His chariots, like a whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by pHis sword
The Lord will judge all flesh;
And the slain of the Lord shall be qmany.
17 “Those rwho sanctify themselves and purify themselves,
To go to the gardens
1After an idol in the midst,
Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,
Shall 2be consumed together,” says the Lord.
18 “For I know their works and their sthoughts. It shall be that I will tgather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory. 19 uI will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and 3Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. vAnd they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles. 20 Then they shall wbring all your
