- Kapitel 52 -

Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.

Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.

For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”

For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.

And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt,(a) declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.(b)

Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news,(c) who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.

Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.

The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing;(d) come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.

For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.

The Servant Exalted

(Philippians 2:5–11)

Behold, My Servant will prosper;(e) He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.

Just as many were appalled at Him (f)— His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—

so He will sprinkle

(g)

many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.(h)

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!

For the LORD says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”

For the Lord GOD says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.

“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says the LORD, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says the LORD, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.

Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when the LORD returns to Zion.

Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.

The LORD has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry the LORD’s vessels.

For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

The Servant Exalted

(Philippians 2:5–11)

Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.

Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—

so he will cleanse(a) many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
