Book 12 : NEVIIM - ISAIAH - Chapter 052
52:001
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy
beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for henceforth there shall no
more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean
52:002
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O
Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion
52:003
For thus saith HaShem: ye were sold for nought; and ye
shall be redeemed without money
52:004
For thus saith the L-rd GOD: My people went down aforetime
into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause
52:005
Now therefore, what do I here, saith HaShem, seeing that My
people is taken away for nought? They that rule over them do howl, saith HaShem,
and My name continually all the day is blasphemed
52:006
Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore they
shall know in that day that I, even He that spoke, behold, here I am
52:007
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the
messenger of good tidings, that announceth peace, the harbinger of good tidings,
that announceth salvation; that saith unto Zion: 'Thy G-d reigneth!
52:008
Hark, thy watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do
they sing; for they shall see, eye to eye, HaShem returning to Zion
52:009
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of
Jerusalem; for HaShem hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem
52:010
HaShem hath made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the
nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our G-d
52:011
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no
unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, ye that bear the
vessels of HaShem
52:012
For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by
flight; for HaShem will go before you, and the G-d of Israel will be your
rearward
52:013
Behold, My servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and
lifted up, and shall be very high
52:014
According as many were appalled at thee--so marred was his
visage unlike that of a man, and his form unlike that of the sons of men-
52:015
So shall he startle many nations, kings shall shut their
mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them shall they see, and
that which they had not heard shall they perceive
