Isaiah 52:1-6
View Full Chapter1Awake, awake, Zion, clothe yourself with strength! Put on your garments of splendor, Jerusalem, the holy city. The uncircumcised and defiled will not enter you again.

6Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I.”
