Isaiah 52:3-6
Authorized (King James) Version
3 For thus saith the Lord,
Ye have sold yourselves for nought;
and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 For thus saith the Lord God,
My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there;
and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord,
that my people is taken away for nought?
they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord;
and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name:
therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak:
behold, it is I.
Isaiah 52:3-6

3 For thus saith the Lord: “Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.”
4 For thus saith the Lord God: “My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here,” saith the Lord, “that My people are taken away for nought? They that rule over them make them to howl,” saith the Lord, “and My name continually every day is blasphemed.
6 Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He that doth speak. Behold, it is I.”
