NASB2020 ▾Isaiah ▾52 ▾Isaiah 521Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, Zion; Clothe yourself with your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city; For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you.2Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, Captive Jerusalem; Release yourself from the chains around your neck, Captive daughter of Zion.3For this is what the L ord says: “You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.”4For this is what the Lord G od says: “My people went down to Egypt first to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without reason.5And now, what do I have here,” declares the L ord , “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason?” Again the L ord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually reviled all day long.6Therefore, My people shall know My name; therefore on that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’ ”7¶How delightful on the mountains Are the feet of one who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”8Listen! Your watchmen raise their voices, They shout joyfully together; For they will see with their own eyes When the L ord restores Zion.9Be cheerful, shout joyfully together, You ruins of Jerusalem; For the L ord has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.10The L ord has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, So that all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.11¶Depart, depart, go out from there, Do not touch what is unclean; Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, You who carry the vessels of the L ord .12But you will not go out in a hurry, Nor will you go as fugitives; For the L ord will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.13¶Behold, My Servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.14Just as many were appalled at you, My people, So His appearance was marred beyond that of a man, And His form beyond the sons of mankind.15So He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what they had not been told, they will see, And what they had not heard, they will understand.Isaiah 51Isaiah 53
