Isaiah 52

² Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.

³ For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”

⁴ For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.

⁵ And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.

⁶ Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”
