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.’”

3 For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.(A) 4 For thus says the Lord God: Long ago, my people went down into Egypt to reside there as aliens; the Assyrian, too, has oppressed them without cause.(B) 5 Now therefore what am I doing here, says the Lord, seeing that my people are taken away without cause? Their rulers howl, says the Lord, and continually, all day long, my name is despised.(C) 6 Therefore my people shall know my name; on[a] that day they shall know that it is I who speak—it is I!(D)
