rsv@Isaiah:51:17 @ Rouse yourself, rouse yourself, stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his wrath, who have drunk to the dregs the bowl of staggering.
rsv@Isaiah:51:18 @ There is none to guide her among all the sons she has borne; there is none to take her by the hand among all the sons she has brought up.
rsv@Isaiah:51:19 @ These two things have befallen you-- who will condole with you?-- devastation and destruction, famine and sword; who will comfort you?
rsv@Isaiah:51:20 @ Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
rsv@Isaiah:51:21 @ Therefore hear this, you who are afflicted, who are drunk, but not with wine:
rsv@Isaiah:51:22 @ Thus says your Lord, the LORD, your God who pleads the cause of his people: "Behold, I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering; the bowl of my wrath you shall drink no more;
rsv@Isaiah:51:23 @ and I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, who have said to you, `Bow down, that we may pass over'; and you have made your back like the ground and like the street for them to pass over."
rsv@Isaiah:52:1 @ Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
rsv@Isaiah:52:2 @ Shake yourself from the dust, arise, O captive Jerusalem; loose the bonds from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
rsv@Isaiah:52:3 @ For thus says the LORD: "You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.
rsv@Isaiah:52:4 @ For thus says the Lord GOD: My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.
rsv@Isaiah:52:5 @ Now therefore what have I here, says the LORD, seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail, says the LORD, and continually all the day my name is despised.
rsv@Isaiah:52:6 @ Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here am I."
rsv@Isaiah:52:7 @ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
rsv@Isaiah:52:8 @ Hark, your watchmen lift up their voice, together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the LORD to Zion.
rsv@Isaiah:52:9 @ Break forth together into singing, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
rsv@Isaiah:52:10 @ The LORD has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
rsv@Isaiah:52:11 @ Depart, depart, go out thence, touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of her, purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of the LORD.
rsv@Isaiah:52:12 @ For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight, for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
