52 Wake up, wake up, O Zion! for unclean and godless people will enter your gates no longer. 2 Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem. O captive daughter of Zion. 3 For this is what the LORD says: without having to pay for you.” 4 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “Long ago my people chose to live in Egypt. Now they are oppressed by Assyria. 5 What is this?” asks the LORD. “Why are my people enslaved again? Those who rule them shout in exultation. My name is blasphemed all day long. 6 But I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power. Then at last they will recognize that I am the one who speaks to them.” 7 How beautiful on the mountains the news that the God of Israel reigns! 8 The watchmen shout and sing with joy, they see the LORD returning to Jerusalem. 9 Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song, He has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The LORD has demonstrated his holy power the victory of our God. 11 Get out! Get out and leave your captivity, you who carry home the sacred objects of the LORD. 12 You will not leave in a hurry, yes, the God of Israel will protect you from behind. 13 See, my servant will prosper; he will be highly exalted. 14 But many were amazed when they saw him. and from his appearance, one would scarcely know he was a man. 15 And he will startle many nations. they will understand what they had not heard about.
