¹Wake up, wake up,

Put on your strength, O Zion;

Put on your splendid clothes, O Jerusalem,

You holy city,

For the uncircumcised and the unclean

Will no longer come into you.

²Shake the dust off yourself,

Arise and sit, O Jerusalem;

Loose yourself from the bonds around your neck,

O captive daughter of Zion.

³For this is what the Lord says:

“You were sold for nothing,

And you will be redeemed

Without money.”

⁴For this is what my Lord the Lord says:

“In time past,

My people went down to Egypt

To live there,

And Assyria oppressed them for no reason,

⁵And now who do I have here?

Says the Lord,

For my people were taken undeservedly.

Those ruling them make them howl,

Says the Lord,

And my name is continuously despised

All day long.

⁶This is why my people will know my name;

This is why they will know on that day

That I am he who speaks and says,

‘Here I am.’ ”

Who proclaims salvation,

Who says to Zion,

“Your God reigns.”

⁸There is the voice of your watchmen.

They raise their voice;

They are jubilant together,

For they will see face to face

When the Lord returns to Zion.

⁹Break out into singing,

Be jubilant together,

You desolate areas of Jerusalem,

For the Lord has comforted his people;

He has redeemed Jerusalem.

¹⁰The Lord has made his holy arm bare

In the sight of all the nations,

And all the ends of the earth will see

The salvation of our God.

Be purified,

You who carry the Lord's equipment.

¹²For you will not go out in haste,

And you will not go in flight,

For the Lord will go before you,

And the God of Israel will gather you up at the rear.

¹³Behold, my servant will act prudently;

He will be exalted

And extolled,

And he will be very high.

¹⁴Just as many were astonished at you

– Such was the disfigurement of his appearance,

More than that of any man,

And of his looks,

More than that of any of the sons of Adam –

¹⁵So he will sprinkle many nations;

Kings will shut their mouths at him,
