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
New American Standard Bible
3 For this is what the Lord says: “You were (A)sold for nothing, and you will be (B)redeemed (C)without money.” 4 For this is what the Lord [a]God says: “My people (D)went down to Egypt first to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without reason. 5 And now, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason?” Again the Lord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My (E)name is continually reviled all day long. 6 Therefore, My people shall (F)know My name; therefore on that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”
