Yahweh Redeems Zion

52 Awake! Awake; put on your strength, Zion!
    Put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem, holy city![a]
        For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall not continue to[b] enter you any longer.
Shake yourself free from the dust! Rise up; sit, Jerusalem!
    Free yourselves from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
