Isaiah 52:3-6
World English Bible
3 For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing;
and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 For the Lord Yahweh says:
“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.”
Isaiah 52:3-6

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)
