Isaiah 52:3-10

3For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”

4For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “At first my people went down to Egypt to live; lately, Assyria has oppressed them.

5“And now what do I have here?” declares the LORD . “For my people have been taken away for nothing, and those who rule them mock, Dead Sea Scrolls and Vulgate; Masoretic Text wail ” declares the LORD . “And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed.

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.”

7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

8Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the LORD returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes.

9Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.

10The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
