³⁵ for God will save Zion^(A)
    and rebuild the cities of Judah.^(B)
Then people will settle there and possess it;
³⁶     the children of his servants will inherit it,^(C)
    and those who love his name will dwell there.^(D)

the mountain^(B) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;^(C)
it will be exalted^(D) above the hills,
    and all nations will stream to it.^(E)

“Come, let us go^(G) up to the mountain^(H) of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law^(I) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.^(J)
4 He will judge^(K) between the nations
    and will settle disputes^(L) for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.^(M)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,^(N)
    nor will they train for war anymore.

¹² He will raise a banner^(J) for the nations
    and gather^(K) the exiles of Israel;^(L)
he will assemble the scattered people^(M) of Judah
    from the four quarters of the earth.^(N)

“The products^(A) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,^[a]
    and those tall Sabeans^(B)—
they will come over to you^(C)
    and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,^(D)
    coming over to you in chains.^(E)
They will bow down before you
    and plead^(F) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,^(G) and there is no other;
    there is no other god.^(H)’”

¹⁵ Truly you are a God who has been hiding^(I) himself,
    the God and Savior^(J) of Israel.
¹⁶ All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced;^(K)
    they will go off into disgrace together.
¹⁷ But Israel will be saved^(L) by the Lord
    with an everlasting salvation;^(M)
you will never be put to shame or disgraced,^(N)
    to ages everlasting.

¹⁸ For this is what the Lord says—
he who created the heavens,
    he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,^(O)
    he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,^(P)
    but formed it to be inhabited^(Q)—
he says:
“I am the Lord,
    and there is no other.^(R)
19 I have not spoken in secret,^(S)
    from somewhere in a land of darkness;^(T)
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,^(U)
    ‘Seek^(V) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
    I declare what is right.^(W)

²⁰ “Gather together^(X) and come;
    assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant^(Y) are those who carry^(Z) about idols of wood,
    who pray to gods that cannot save.^(AA)
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
    let them take counsel together.
Who foretold^(AB) this long ago,
    who declared it from the distant past?^(AC)
Was it not I, the Lord?
    And there is no God apart from me,^(AD)
a righteous God^(AE) and a Savior;^(AF)
    there is none but me.

²² “Turn^(AG) to me and be saved,^(AH)
    all you ends of the earth;^(AI)
    for I am God, and there is no other.^(AJ)
23 By myself I have sworn,^(AK)
    my mouth has uttered in all integrity^(AL)
    a word that will not be revoked:^(AM)
Before me every knee will bow;^(AN)
    by me every tongue will swear.^(AO)

“See, I will beckon to the nations,
    I will lift up my banner^(B) to the peoples;
they will bring^(C) your sons in their arms
    and carry your daughters on their hips.^(D)

²⁶ I will make your oppressors^(A) eat^(B) their own flesh;
    they will be drunk on their own blood,^(C) as with wine.
Then all mankind will know^(D)
    that I, the Lord, am your Savior,^(E)
    your Redeemer,^(F) the Mighty One of Jacob.^(G)”

52 Awake, awake,^(A) Zion,
    clothe yourself with strength!^(B)
Put on your garments of splendor,^(C)
    Jerusalem, the holy city.^(D)
The uncircumcised^(E) and defiled^(F)
    will not enter you again.^(G)
2 Shake off your dust;^(H)
    rise up,^(I) sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,^(J)
    Daughter Zion,^(K) now a captive.

“You were sold for nothing,^(L)
    and without money^(M) you will be redeemed.^(N)”

“At first my people went down to Egypt^(O) to live;
    lately, Assyria^(P) has oppressed them.

“For my people have been taken away for nothing,
    and those who rule them mock,^[a]”
declares the Lord.
“And all day long
    my name is constantly blasphemed.^(Q)
6 Therefore my people will know^(R) my name;^(S)
    therefore in that day^(T) they will know
that it is I who foretold^(U) it.
    Yes, it is I.”

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains^(V)
    are the feet of those who bring good news,^(W)
who proclaim peace,^(X)
    who bring good tidings,
    who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”^(Y)
8 Listen! Your watchmen^(Z) lift up their voices;^(AA)
    together they shout for joy.^(AB)
When the Lord returns^(AC) to Zion,^(AD)
    they will see it with their own eyes.
⁹ Burst into songs of joy^(AE) together,
    you ruins^(AF) of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted^(AG) his people,
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.^(AH)
10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm^(AI)
    in the sight of all the nations,^(AJ)
and all the ends of the earth^(AK) will see
    the salvation^(AL) of our God.
