Isaiah 52:7-10
New International Version
7 How beautiful on the mountains(A)
are the feet of those who bring good news,(B)
who proclaim peace,(C)
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”(D)
8 Listen! Your watchmen(E) lift up their voices;(F)
together they shout for joy.(G)
When the Lord returns(H) to Zion,(I)
they will see it with their own eyes.
9 Burst into songs of joy(J) together,
you ruins(K) of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted(L) his people,
he has redeemed Jerusalem.(M)
10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm(N)
in the sight of all the nations,(O)
and all the ends of the earth(P) will see
the salvation(Q) of our God.

are the feet of the one who brings news of peace,[b]
who announces good things,
