Strongs On/Off
Context
52:1 Wake up ! Wake up ! Clothe yourself with strength , O Zion ! Put on your beautiful clothes , O Jerusalem , holy city ! For uncircumcised and unclean pagans will no longer invade you.
52:2 Shake off the dirt ! Get up , captive Jerusalem ! Take off the iron chains around your neck , O captive daughter Zion !
52:3 For this is what the Lord says : “You were sold for nothing , and you will not be redeemed for money .”
52:4 For this is what the sovereign Lord says : “In the beginning my people went to live temporarily in Egypt ; Assyria oppressed them for no good reason .
52:5 And now , what do we have here ?” says the Lord . “Indeed my people have been carried away for nothing , those who rule over them taunt ,” says the Lord , “and my name is constantly slandered all day long.
52:6 For this reason my people will know my name , for this reason they will know at that time that I am the one who says , ‘Here I am.’”
52:7 How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains the feet of a messenger who announces peace , a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance , who says to Zion , “Your God reigns !”
52:8 Listen , your watchmen shout ; in unison they shout for joy , for they see with their very own eyes the Lord’s return to Zion .
52:9 In unison give a joyful shout , O ruins of Jerusalem ! For the Lord consoles his people ; he protects Jerusalem .
52:10 The Lord reveals his royal power in the sight of all the nations ; the entire earth sees our God deliver .
