Isaiah 52 — WBMS
52Verse 1Rise thou, Zion, rise thou, be thou clothed in thy strength; Jerusalem, the city of the Holy, be thou clothed in the clothes of thy glory; for a man uncircumcised and a man unclean shall no more lay to, that he pass by thee.Verse 2Jerusalem, be thou shaken out of [the] dust; rise thou, sit thou; thou daughter of Zion, prisoner, unbind the bonds of thy neck.Verse 3For the Lord saith these things, Ye be sold without cause, and ye shall be again-bought without silver.Verse 4For the Lord God saith these things, My people in the beginning went down into Egypt, that it should be there an earth-tiller, either a comeling, and Assur falsely challenged it without any cause.Verse 5And now what is to me here? saith the Lord; for my people is taken away without cause; the lords thereof do wickedly, saith the Lord, and my name is blasphemed continually all day.Verse 6For this thing my people shall know my name in that day, for lo! I myself that spake, am present.Verse 7Full fair be the feet of him that telleth, and preacheth peace on hills [or mountains], of him that telleth good tidings, of him that preacheth health, and saith, Zion, thy God shall reign.Verse 8The voice of thy beholders; they raised the voice, they shall praise together; for they shall see with eye to eye, when the Lord hath converted Zion.Verse 9The deserted, either forsaken, things of Jerusalem, make ye joy, and praise ye together; for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath again-bought Jerusalem.Verse 10The Lord hath made ready his holy arm in the eyes of all folks, and all the ends of the earth shall see the health of our God.Verse 11Go ye away, go ye away, go ye out from thence; do not ye touch [the] defouled thing, go ye out from the midst thereof; be ye cleansed, that bear the vessels of the Lord.Verse 12For ye shall not go out in noise, neither ye shall haste in flying away; for why the Lord shall go before you, and the God of Israel shall gather you together.Verse 13Lo! my servant shall understand, and he shall be enhanced, and he shall be raised, and he shall be full high.Verse 14As many men wondered on him, so his beholding shall be without glory among men, and the form, either shape, of him among the sons of men.Verse 15He shall besprinkle many folks; kings shall hold together their mouth on him; for they shall see, to which it was not told of him, and they that heard not, beheld.
