Isaiah 52:3 in context
Isaiah 52:1–6
1
Awake, 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.
2
Shake yourself from the dust!
Arise, sit up, Jerusalem!
Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3
Selected verse
For the LORD says, “You were sold for nothing;
and you will be redeemed without money.”
4
For the Lord GOD says:
“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 the LORD,
“seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them mock,” says the LORD,
“and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6
Therefore my people shall know my name.
Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks.
Behold, it is I.”
