Isaiah 52 Awake, awake, Sion! clothe thyself, Sion, with thy strength. Put on thy glory. O Jerusalem, thou holy city! No more shall the uncircumcised and the unclean pass through thee.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Awake, awake, Sion! clothe thyself, Sion, with thy strength. Put on thy glory. O Jerusalem, thou holy city! No more shall the uncircumcised and the unclean pass through thee. ² Shake off the dust, and stand up: assume thy seat, O Jerusalem! Loose the chain from thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion! ³ For thus saith the Lord, You were sold for nought; and you shall be ransomed, not with money. ⁴ Thus saith the Lord, My people went down to Egypt at first to sojourn there; and to the Assyrians they were carried by force. ⁵ Now therefore why are you here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people were taken away for nought, [express your amaze; and raise the mournful cry! Thus saith the Lord, On your account my name is continually reviled among the nations. ⁶ Therefore in that day my people shall know my name. Because I THE I AM, the same who am speaking, am at hand, ⁷ like beauty on the mountains; like the feet of one proclaiming peace, like one proclaiming glad tidings. Because I will cause thy salvation to be proclaimed, Saying, Sion, thy God will reign; ⁸ because the voice of thy watchmen is lifted up; with the voice therefore let all at the same time express joy. [c] Because eyes will look to eyes when the Lord compassionateth Sion; ⁹ let the ruins of Jerusalem break out together with bursts of joy. Because the Lord hath compassionated her and delivered Jerusalem; ¹⁰ let the Lord therefore make bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations! and let all the ends of the earth see the salvation come from our God. ¹¹ [J] Depart, depart; come out thence, and touch no polluted thing. Come out from the midst of her; be clean, ye who carry the vessels of the Lord. ¹² For you shall not come out in haste, nor by flight march along; for the Lord will march before you in front; and the God of Israel will bring up your rear. ¹³ Behold my servant will mind and be exalted and highly glorified. ¹⁴ In the same manner as many will be astonished at thee; [so devoid of glory for men will be thine appearance and thy glory for the sons of men] ¹⁵ so many nations will express admiration at him; and kings will shut their mouths, because they, to whom no publication was made concerning him, shall see; and they, who had not heard, will understand.
