For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing;
    and you will be redeemed without money.”

For the Lord Yahweh says:

“My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there:
    and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.

“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh,
    “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh,
    “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
Therefore my people shall know my name.
    Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks.
    Behold, it is I.”

For this is what the Lord says: “You were (A)sold for nothing, and you will be (B)redeemed (C)without money.” For this is what the Lord [a]God says: “My people (D)went down to Egypt first to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without reason. And now, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason?” Again the Lord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My (E)name is continually reviled all day long. Therefore, My people shall (F)know My name; therefore on that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”
