# Isaiah 52
## Deliverance for Jerusalem
- 1 [[H5782|Awake]], [[H5782|awake]],
- [[H3847|clothe yourself]] with strength, O Zion!
- [[H3847|Put on]] [[H0899|your garments]] of splendor,
- O Jerusalem, holy city!
- For the uncircumcised and unclean
- will no longer enter you.
- 2 Shake off your dust!
- Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem.
- Remove the chains from your neck,
- O captive Daughter of Zion.
3 For this is what the LORD says:
- “You were sold for nothing,
- and without money you will be redeemed.”
4 For this is what the Lord GOD says:
- “At first My people went down to Egypt to live,
- then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
- 5 And now what have I here?
- declares the LORD.
- For My people have been taken without cause;
- those who rule them taunt, {[[#^23-52-a| a ]]}
- declares the LORD,
- and My name is blasphemed continually
- all day long. {[[#^23-52-b| b ]]}
- 6 Therefore My people will know My name;
- therefore they will know on that day
- that I am He who speaks.
- Here I am!”
- 7 How beautiful on the mountains
- are the feet of those who bring good news, {[[#^23-52-c| c ]]}
- who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings,
- who proclaim salvation,
- who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
- 8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,
- together they shout for joy.
- [[H3588|For]] [[H5869|every eye]] [[H7200|will see]]
- [[H3068|when the LORD]] [[H7725|returns]] [[H6726|to Zion]].
- 9 Break forth in joy, sing together,
- O ruins of Jerusalem,
- [[H3588|for]] [[H3068|the LORD]] has comforted His people;
- He has redeemed Jerusalem.
- 10 The LORD has bared His holy arm
- in the sight of all the nations;
- all the ends of the earth will see
- the salvation of our God.
- 11 Depart, depart, go out from there!
- Touch no unclean thing; {[[#^23-52-d| d ]]}
- come out from it, purify yourselves,
- you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
- 12 For you will not leave in a hurry
- nor flee in haste,
- for the LORD goes before you,
- and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
## The Servant Exalted
([[Philippians_02|Philippians 2.5–11]])
- 13 Behold, My Servant will prosper; {[[#^23-52-e| e ]]}
- He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
- 14 Just as many were appalled at Him {[[#^23-52-f| f ]]} —
- His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man,
- and His form was marred beyond human likeness —
- 15 so He will sprinkle {[[#^23-52-g| g ]]} many nations.
- Kings will shut their mouths because of Him.
- For they will see what they have not been told,
- and they will understand what they have not heard. {[[#^23-52-h| h ]]}
