* Awake , awake , Put on thy strength , O Zion , Fur on thy beautiful garments , O Jerusalemthou holy city , For there shah not again come into thee any more the uncircumcised and unclean . * Shake thyself from the dust arisesit down O Jerusalem , Loose thyself from the bonds of thy neck , O captive ! daughter of Zion ! * For , thus , saith Yahweh , For nought , ye sold yourselves , And not with silver , shall ye be redeemed , * For , thus , saith My Lord , Yahweh , To Egypt , went down my people at first to sojourn there , But , Assyria , without cause , hath oppressed him . * Now , therefore , what do I here ? Demandeth Yahweh . That my people have been taken away for nought ? They who rule them , do howl , Declareth Yahweh , And , continuallyall the day , is my Name brought into contempt . * Therefore , shall my people acknowledge my Name : Therefore , in that day , shall they acknowledge that , I , am the same , even I who am speaking , Here , I am , * How beautiful , upon the mountains are the feet Of him That bringeth good tidings , That publisheth peace , That bringeth good tidings of blessing , That publisheth salvation , That saith unto Zion , Thy God , hath become king . * The voice of thy watchmen ! They have uplifted a voice Together , do they renew the shout of triumph , For eye to eye , shall they see , When Yahweh returneth to Zion . * Break forth , shout in triumph together , ye waste places of Jerusalem , For Yahweh Hath comforted his people , Hath redeemed Jerusalem : * Yahweh hath bared his holy arm , in the eyes of all the nations , So shall all the ends of the earth see the salvation of our God . * Away ! away ! come , forth from thence !Nought unclean , may ye touch , Come forth out of her midst , Purify yourselves , ye who are to carry the vessels of Yahweh ; * For , not in haste , shall ye come forth , Nor , by flight , shall ye journey , For , your van-guard , is Yahweh , And , your rear-guard , the God of Israel . * Lo ! my Servant , prospereth , He riseth , and is lifted up , and becometh very high : * The more that Many , were amazed at thee , So marred , beyond any mans , was his appearance , And his form , beyond the sons of men , * The more doth he startle Many nations , Before him , have kings closed their mouth , For , that which had not been related to them , have they seen , And that which they had not heard , haw they diligently considered .
