Isaiah 52:3-6
New Living Translation
3 For this is what the Lord says:
“When I sold you into exile,
I received no payment.
Now I can redeem you
without having to pay for you.”
4 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Long ago my people chose to live in Egypt. Now they are oppressed by Assyria. 5 What is this?” asks the Lord. “Why are my people enslaved again? Those who rule them shout in exultation.[a] My name is blasphemed all day long.[b] 6 But I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power. Then at last they will recognize that I am the one who speaks to them.”

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.’”
