521Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion.Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city:for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.+2Shake yourself from the dust!Arise, sit up, Jerusalem!Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!+3For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing;and you will be redeemed without money.”+4For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there:and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.+5“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh,“seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh,“and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.+6Therefore my people shall know my name.Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks.Behold, it is I.”+7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,who publishes peace,who brings good news,who proclaims salvation,who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”+8Your watchmen lift up their voice,together they sing;for they shall see eye to eye, when Yahweh returns to Zion.+9Break out into joy,sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem;for Yahweh has comforted his people.He has redeemed Jerusalem.+10Yahweh has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations;and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.+11Depart, depart, go out from there; touch no unclean thing!Go out from among her!Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.+12For you shall not go out in haste,neither shall you go by flight:for Yahweh will go before you;and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.+
13Behold, my servant will deal wisely.He will be exalted and lifted up,and will be very high.+14Just as many were astonished at you(his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),+15so he will cleanse many nations.Kings will shut their mouths at him:for they will see that which had not been told them;and they will understand that which they had not heard.+Footnotes (1)
