Isaiah 52:3-6
Holman 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 live 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.”

Isaiah 52:3-6
Common English Bible
3 The Lord proclaims:
You were sold for nothing,
and you will be redeemed without money.
4 The Lord God proclaims:
Long ago my people went down
to reside in Egypt.
Moreover, Assyria has oppressed them without cause.
5 And now what have I here? says the Lord.
My people are taken away for nothing.
Their rulers wail, says the Lord,
and continually all day long my name is despised.
6 Therefore, my people will know my name on that day;
I’m the one who promises it; I’m here.
