Isaiah 52
52
Ma Navu: The Song of Salvation
1Awake, awake! Clothe yourself in your strength, Zion! Clothe yourself in beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for the uncircumcised and the unclean will never invade you again.
2Shake off the dust and arise! Be enthroned, Jerusalem. Loose the bonds off your neck, captive Daughter of Zion.
3For thus says Adonai: “You were sold for nothing. So you will be redeemed without silver.”
4For thus says Adonai Elohim: “At first My people went down to Egypt to reside there, then the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.
5“Now therefore, what do I have here?” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “My people are taken away for nothing? Its rulers wail” —it is Adonai’s declaration— “and My Name is continually blasphemed all day long.
6Therefore My people will know My Name. Therefore in that day, I am the One who will be saying, ‘Hineni!’”
7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces shalom, who brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8The voice of your watchmen— they will lift up their voices. Together they are shouting for joy! For they will see eye to eye when Adonai returns to Zion.
9Break forth in joy, sing together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for Adonai has comforted His people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10Adonai has bared His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11Leave, leave! Get out of there! Touch no unclean thing. Go out of her midst. Purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of Adonai.
12For you will not go out in haste, nor will you go in flight, for Adonai will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Fourth Servant Song: The Lamb
13“Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.
14Just as many were appalled at You— His appearance was disfigured more than any man, His form more than the sons of men.
15So He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him, for what had not been told them they will see, and what they had not heard they will perceive.

Isaiah 52
52
Awake, holy Zion
1Awake, awake,
put on your strength, Zion!
Put on your splendid clothing,
Jerusalem, you holy city;
for the uncircumcised and unclean
will no longer come into you.
2Shake the dust off yourself;
rise up; sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Loose the bonds from your neck,
captive Daughter Zion!
3The LORD proclaims:
You were sold for nothing,
and you will be redeemed without money.
4The LORD God proclaims:
Long ago my people went down
to reside in Egypt.
Moreover, Assyria has oppressed them without cause.
5And now what have I here? says the LORD.
My people are taken away for nothing.
Their rulers wail, says the LORD,
and continually all day long my name is despised.
6Therefore, my people will know my name on that day;
I’m the one who promises it; I’m here.
Your God rules
7How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of a messenger
who proclaims peace,
who brings good news,
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God rules!”
8Listen! Your lookouts lift their voice;
they sing out together!
Right before their eyes they see the LORD returning to Zion.
9Break into song together, you ruins of Jerusalem!
The LORD has comforted his people and has redeemed Jerusalem.
10The LORD has bared his holy arm in view of all the nations;
all the ends of the earth have seen our God’s victory.
11Depart! Depart! Go out from there!
Unclean! Don’t touch!
Get out of that place; purify yourselves,
carriers of the LORD’s equipment!
12You won’t go out in a rush,
nor will you run away,
because the one going before you is the LORD;
your rear guard is the God of Israel.
Suffering servant
13Look, my servant will succeed.
He will be exalted and lifted very high.
14Just as many were appalled by you,
he too appeared disfigured, inhuman,
his appearance unlike that of mortals.
15But he will astonish#52.15 Or sprinkle many nations.
Kings will be silenced because of him,
because they will see what they haven’t seen before;
what they haven’t heard before, they will ponder.
