IsaiahIsaiah 52
The Book of the ProphetGod Will Deliver Zion from Captivity | |
1 |
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: Rev. 21.2, 27 for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. |
2 |
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. |
3 |
¶ For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. |
4 |
For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. |
5 |
Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. Rom. 2.24 |
6 |
Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. |
7 |
¶ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; Nah. 1.15 · Rom. 10.15 · Eph. 6.15 that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! |
8 |
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion. |
9 |
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. |
10 |
The LORD 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 God. |
11 |
¶ Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; 2 Cor. 6.17 go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD. |
12 |
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward. |
The Suffering of the LORD‘s Servant | |
13 |
¶ Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. |
14 |
As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: |
15 |
so shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. Rom. 15.21 |
