Isaiah:52

* Awake , awake ; put on thy strength , O Zion ; put on thy beautiful garments , O Jerusalem , the holy city : for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come into thee . * Shake thyself from the dust ; arise [and ] sit down , O Jerusalem : loose thyself from the bands of thy neck , O captive daughter of Zion . * For thus saith the LORD , Ye have sold yourselves for nothing ; and ye shall be redeemed without money . * For thus has the Lord GOD said , My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there ; and the Assyrian captured them without cause . * Now therefore , what have I here , saith the LORD , that my people is taken away for nothing ? And those among my people that take rule over them make them to howl , saith the LORD ; and my name [is ] continually blasphemed every day . * Therefore my people shall know my name for this reason in that day : for even I that speak , behold , I shall be present . * How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings , that publishes peace , that brings good tidings of good , that publishes saving health , that saith unto Zion , Thy God reigns ! * The voice of thy watchmen ! They shall lift up the voice ; together they shall rejoice : for they shall see eye to eye , how the LORD shall return to bring again Zion . * Sing praises , rejoice together , ye waste places of Jerusalem : for the LORD has comforted his people , he has redeemed Jerusalem . * The LORD has made bare the arm of his holiness before the eyes of all the Gentiles ; and all the ends of the earth shall see the saving health of our God . * Depart ye , depart ye , go ye out from there , touch no unclean [thing ]; go ye out of the midst of her ; be ye clean , that bear the vessels of the LORD . * 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 gather you together . * Behold , my servant shall be prospered ; he shall be exalted and extolled , and be very high . * As many rejected thee , in such manner was his likeness and his beauty , disfigured from the sons of men : * But he shall sprinkle many Gentiles ; the kings shall shut their mouths over him : for [that ] which had not been told them they shall see ; and [that ] which they had not heard they shall they understand .:
