Isaie 52

¹Arise, arise, put on thy strength o Sion, put on the garments of thy glory o Jerusalem the city of the holy one: because the uncircumcised, and unclean shall add no more to pass by thee.

²Be shaken out of the dust, arise, sit up Jerusalem: loose the bonds of thy neck, o captive daughter of Sion.

³Because thus saith our Lord: You were sold for nought, and without silver you shall be redeemed.

⁴Because thus saith our Lord God: My people went down into Ægypt at the beginning to be a sojourner there: and Assur without any cause did oppress them.

⁵And now what have I here? Saith our Lord: because my people is taken away for nought. Their rulers do unjustly, saith our Lord, and continually all the day my name is blasphemed.

⁶For this cause shall my people know my name in that day: because I myself that spake, lo am present.

⁷How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that evangelizeth & preacheth peace: of him that telleth good, preaching health, that saith to Sion: Thy God shall reign.

⁸The voice of thy watchmen, they have lifted up their voice, they shall praise together: because eye to eye they shall see when our Lord shall convert Sion.

⁹Rejoice, & praise together ye deserts of Jerusalem: because our Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

¹⁰Our Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

¹¹Depart, depart, go ye out from thence, touch not a polluted thing: go out of the midst of her, be cleansed ye that carry the vessels of our Lord.

¹²Because you shall not go out in tumult, neither with flight shall you make haste: for our Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.

¹³Behold my servant shall understand, he shall be exalted, and shall be lifted up, and shall be exceeding high.

¹⁴As many have been astonished upon thee, so shall his look among men be inglorious, and his form among the sons of men.

¹⁵He shall sprinkle many nations, kings shall shut their mouth upon him: because they to whom it was not told of him, have seen: and they that heard not have beheld.
