Isaiah 52:5-10

English Standard Version

⁵Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and ^(A)continually all the day my name is despised. ⁶Therefore my people shall know my name. ^(B)Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”

⁷^(C)How beautiful upon the mountains
    are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, ^(D)who brings good news of happiness,
    who publishes salvation,
    who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
⁸The voice of ^(E)your watchmen—they lift up their voice;
    together they sing for joy;
^(F)for eye to eye they see
    the return of the Lord to Zion.
⁹^(G)Break forth together into singing,
    ^(H)you waste places of Jerusalem,
for ^(I)the Lord has comforted his people;
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.
¹⁰^(J)The Lord has bared his holy arm
    before the eyes of all the nations,
^(K)and all the ends of the earth shall see
    the salvation of our God.
