Isaiah 52:1–6

aAwake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion;

Put on bthy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, cthe holy city:

For henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and dthe unclean.

2  eShake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem:

fLoose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

3  For thus saith the Lord,

gYe have sold yourselves hfor nought;

And iye shall be redeemed without money.

4  For thus saith the Lord God,

kMy people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there;

And the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

5  Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord,

That my people is taken away for nought?

They that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord;

And lmy name continually every day is mblasphemed.

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.
