Isaiah 52:3-6
Christian Standard Bible
3 For this is what the Lord says:
“You were sold for nothing,
and you will be redeemed without silver.”(A)
4 For this is what the Lord God says:
“At first my people went down to Egypt to reside there,(B)
then Assyria oppressed them without cause.[a]
5 So now what have I here”—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
“that my people are taken away for nothing?
Its rulers wail”—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
“and my name is continually blasphemed all day long.(C)
6 Therefore my people will know my name;(D)
therefore they will know on that day
that I am he who says,
‘Here I am.’”
