aAwake, awake
, Clothe
yourself
in your strength
, O Zion
; Clothe
yourself
in your bbeautiful
garments
, O Jerusalem
, the choly
city
; For the uncircumcised
and the dunclean
Will no
longer
come
into you.
Shake yourself afrom the dust
, brise
up, O captive
Jerusalem
; cLoose
yourself from the chains
around your neck
, O captive
daughter
of Zion
.
For thus says
the LORD
, "You were asold
for nothing
and you will be bredeemed
cwithout
money
."
For thus says
the Lord
1GOD
, "My people
awent
down
at the first
into Egypt
to reside
there
; then the Assyrian
oppressed
them without
cause
.
"Now therefore, what
do I have here
," declares
the LORD
, "seeing that My people
have been taken
away without
cause
?" Again the LORD
declares
, "Those who rule
over them howl
, and My aname
is continually
blasphemed
all
day
long.
"Therefore My people
shall aknow
My name
; therefore
in that day
I am the one who is speaking
, `Here
I am.' "
How lovely
on the mountains
Are the feet
of him who brings
agood news
, Who announces
1peace
And brings
good news
of 2happiness
, Who announces
salvation
, And says
to Zion
, "Your bGod
3reigns
!"
Listen! Your watchmen
lift
up their avoices
, They shout
joyfully
together
; For they will see
1with their own
eyes
When the LORD
restores
Zion
.
aBreak forth
, shout
joyfully
together
, You bwaste
places
of Jerusalem
; For the LORD
has comforted
His people
, He has credeemed
Jerusalem
.
The LORD has bared
His holy
aarm
In the sight
of all
the nations
, 1That ball
the ends
of the earth
may see
The salvation
of our God
.
aDepart, depart
, go
out from there
, bTouch
nothing
unclean
; Go
out of the midst
of her, cpurify
yourselves, You who carry
the vessels
of the LORD
.
But you will not go out in ahaste
, Nor
will you go
1as fugitives
; For the bLORD
will go
before
you, And cthe God
of Israel
will be your rear
guard
.
Behold, My aservant
will prosper
, He will be high
and lifted
up and 1greatly
bexalted
.
Just as many
were astonished
at you, My people, So
His aappearance
was marred
more
than
any
man
And His form
more
than
the sons
of men
.
Thus He will asprinkle
many
nations
, Kings
will bshut
their mouths
on account
of Him; For cwhat
had not been told
them they will see
, And what
they had not heard
they will understand
.
