Chapter 52
Isai JPS 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.
Isai JPS 52:2  Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
Isai JPS 52:3  For thus saith HaShem: ye were sold for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Isai JPS 52:4  For thus saith the L-rd GOD: My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Isai JPS 52:5  Now therefore, what do I here, saith HaShem, seeing that My people is taken away for nought? They that rule over them do howl, saith HaShem, and My name continually all the day is blasphemed.
Isai JPS 52:6  Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore they shall know in that day that I, even He that spoke, behold, here I am.
Isai JPS 52:7  How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger of good tidings, that announceth peace, the harbinger of good tidings, that announceth salvation; that saith unto Zion: 'Thy G-d reigneth!'
Isai JPS 52:8  Hark, thy watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see, eye to eye, HaShem returning to Zion.
Isai JPS 52:9  Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for HaShem hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Isai JPS 52:10  HaShem 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 G-d.
Isai JPS 52:11  Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, ye that bear the vessels of HaShem.
Isai JPS 52:12  For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight; for HaShem will go before you, and the G-d of Israel will be your rearward.
Isai JPS 52:13  Behold, My servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
Isai JPS 52:14  According as many were appalled at thee--so marred was his visage unlike that of a man, and his form unlike that of the sons of men--
Isai JPS 52:15  So shall he startle many nations, kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them shall they see, and that which they had not heard shall they perceive.
