- Kapitel 52 -

1
Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O Zion! Put on the garments of your glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One! For the uncircumcised and the unclean will no longer pass through you.
2
Shake yourself from the dust! Arise and sit up, O Jerusalem! Loose the chains from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
3
For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.
4
For thus says the Lord God: My people descended into Egypt, in the beginning, in order to sojourn there. But the Assyrian oppressed them, without any cause at all.
5
And now, what is left for me here, says the Lord? For my people have been taken away without cause. Their lords treat them unjustly, says the Lord. And my name is being continually blasphemed all day long.
6
Because of this, my people will know my name, in that day. For it is I myself who is speaking. Behold, I am here.
7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger and the preacher of peace! Announcing good and preaching peace, they are saying to Zion, “Your God will reign!”(a)
8
It is the voice of your watchmen. They have lifted up their voice. They will praise together. For they will see eye to eye, when the Lord converts Zion.
9
Be glad and rejoice together, O deserts of Jerusalem! For the Lord has consoled his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10
The Lord has prepared his holy arm, in the sight of all the Gentiles. And all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11
Depart, depart, get out of here! Do not be willing to touch what is polluted. Go out from her midst! Be cleansed, you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
12
For you will not go out in a tumult, nor will you take flight in a hurry. For the Lord will precede you, and the God of Israel will gather you.

The Servant Exalted

(Philippians 2:5–11)
13
Behold, my servant will understand; he will be exalted and lifted up, and he will be very sublime.
14
Just as they were stupefied over you, so will his countenance be without glory among men, and his appearance, among the sons of men.
15
He will sprinkle many nations; kings will close their mouth because of him. And those to whom he was not described, have seen. And those who have not heard, have considered.

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

For the LORD says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”
4
For the Lord GOD says:My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5
Now therefore, what do I do here,” says the LORD,seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says the LORD,and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6
Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”
7
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8
Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when the LORD returns to Zion.
9
Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10
The LORD has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11
Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry the LORD’s vessels.
12
For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

The Servant Exalted

(Philippians 2:5–11)
13
Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.
14
Just as many were astonished at you his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men
15
so he will cleanse(a) many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
