The Book of
Isaiah
Chapter 52
Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O
Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: 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.
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; 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; 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 rereward.
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he
shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonied 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.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
