Isaiah 52:7-10
World English Bible
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace,
who brings good news,
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Your watchmen lift up their voice.
Together they sing;
for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.
9 Break out into joy!
Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem;
for Yahweh has comforted his people.
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Isaiah 52:7-10
International Standard Version
7 “How beautiful[a] on the mountains
are the feet of the one who brings news of peace,[b]
who announces good things,
who announces salvation,[c]
who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,[d]
together they sing for joy;
for they will see in plain sight
the return of the Lord to Zion with compassion.[e]
9 “Break forth together into singing,[f]
you ruins of Jerusalem;
for the Lord has comforted his people,
and[g] he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared his holy arm[h]
in the eyes of all the nations;
and all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.
