* 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 . * Shake thyself from the dust ; arise , and sit down , O Jerusalem : loose thyself from the bands of thy neck tsavva #r #, O captive daughter of Zion . * For thus saith the LORD , Ye have sold yourselves for nought ; and ye shall be redeemed without money . * For thus saith the Lord GOD , My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there ; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 y @shuw #ah #; that saith unto Zion , Thy God reigneth ! * 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 . * Break forth into joy , sing together , ye waste places of Jerusalem : for the LORD hath comforted his people , he hath redeemed Jerusalem . * 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 . * Depart ye , depart ye , go ye out from thence , touch no unclean thing ; go ye out ofhe 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 be your rereward . * Behold , my servant shall deal prudently , he shall be exalted and extolled , and be very high . * As many were astonied at thee ; his visage was so marred more than any man , and his form more than the sons of men : * 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 .
