\q1
|
|
\v 1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion;
|
|
\q1 put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, holy city;
|
|
\q1 for never again will the uncircumcised or the unclean enter you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Shake yourself off from the dust; arise and sit, Jerusalem;
|
|
\q1 take off the chain from your neck, captive, daughter of Zion.
|
|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 For this is what Yahweh says, "You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 For this is what the Lord Yahweh says, "In the beginning my people went down into Egypt to live temporarily;
|
|
\q1 Assyria has oppressed them recently.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Now what do I have here—this is Yahweh's declaration—seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them wail—this is Yahweh's declaration—and my name is slandered continually all day long.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Therefore my people will know my name;
|
|
\q1 they will know in that day that I am the one who said this. Yes, it is I!"
|
|

\s5

\q1
|
|
\v 7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news,
|
|
\q1 who announces peace, who bears good tidings, who announces salvation,
|
|
\q1 who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Listen, your watchmen raise their voices, together they shout for joy,
|
|
\q1 for they will see, every eye of theirs, Yahweh's return to Zion.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Break out into joyful singing together, you ruins of Jerusalem;
|
|
\q1 for Yahweh has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Yahweh has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations;
|
|
\q1 all the earth will see the salvation of our God.
|
|
|
|
\s5

|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Leave, leave, go out from there; touch nothing unclean;
|
|
\q1 leave from her midst; purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of Yahweh.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 For you will not go out in a rush, nor will you leave in a panic;
|
|
\q1 for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearguard.
|
|

\q1
|
|
\v 13 Look, my servant will deal wisely and will be successful;
|
|
\q1 he will be high and elevated; he will be very exalted.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 As many were horrified at you—
|
|
\q1 his appearance was so disfigured out of human appearance, so that the sight of him was far from anything human—
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 so he will startle many nations; kings will close their mouths because of him.
|
|
\q1 That which they had not been told, they will see, and that which they had not heard, they will understand.
