³ For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing;
    and you will be redeemed without money.”

“My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there:
    and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.

⁵ “Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh,
    “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh,
    “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
⁶ Therefore my people shall know my name.
    Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks.
    Behold, it is I.”
