“Wake up, wake up;

put on your strength, Zion!

Put on your beautiful garments,m

Jerusalem, the holy city!n

For the uncircumcised and the unclean

will no longer enter you.o

2 Stand up, shake the dust off yourself!

Take your seat, Jerusalem.

Remove the bondsD from your neck,

captive Daughter Zion.”

3 For this is what the Lord says:

“You were sold for nothing,

and you will be redeemed without silver.”p

4 For this is what the Lord God says:

“At first my people went down to Egypt to reside there,q

then Assyria oppressed them without cause.E

5 So now what have I here”—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

“that my people are taken away for nothing?

Its rulers wail”—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

“and my name is continually blasphemed all day long.a

6 Therefore my people will know my name;b

therefore they will know on that day

that I am he who says,

‘Here I am.’ ”

7 How beautiful on the mountains

are the feet of the herald,

who proclaims peace,

who brings news of good things,c

who proclaims salvation,

who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”d

8 The voices of your watchmene—

they lift up their voices,

shouting for joy together;

for every eye will see

when the Lord returns to Zion.

9 Be joyful, rejoice together,

you ruins of Jerusalem!f

For the Lord has comforted his people;g

he has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 The Lord has displayed his holy arm

in the sight of all the nations;h

all the ends of the earth will see

the salvation of our God.i
