Isaiah 52:3-6
English Standard Version
3 For thus says the Lord: (A)“You were sold for nothing, and (B)you shall be redeemed without money.” 4 For thus says the Lord God: (C)“My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.[a] 5 Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and (D)continually all the day my name is despised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name. (E)Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”

Isaiah 52:3-6
International Standard Version
3 For this is what the Lord says: “You were sold for nothing, and you’ll be redeemed without money.”
4 For this is what the Lord[a] says: “My people went down long ago into Egypt to live[b] there; the Assyrian, too, has oppressed them without cause.
5 “Now therefore, what[c] am I doing here,” asks[d] the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away without cause? Those who rule over them are deluded,”[e] says the Lord, “and continuously, all the day long, my name is blasphemed. 6 Therefore my people will know my name; in that day[f] they’ll know that it is I who speaks, ‘Here I am!’
