Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Isaiah:
Chapter 52
1. AWAKE,
awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O
Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into
thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose
thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3. For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye
shall be redeemed without money.
4. For thus saith the Lord GOD, My 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 my name continually every day is blasphemed.
6. Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in
that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
7. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth
good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good,
that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
8. Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall
they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring
again Zion.
9. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem:
for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10. The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations;
and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing;
go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the
LORD.
12. For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD
will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
13. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and
extolled, and be very high.
14. As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than
any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15. So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths
at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that
which they had not heard shall they consider.
