Isaiah 52:7-15 ▼

7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the one bringing good news, proclaiming peace—bringing news of good things, proclaiming salvation—saying to Zion: “Your God reigns!”

8 The voice of your watchmen—they lift up the voice, together they shall sing out; for every eye will see the returning of YHWH to Zion.

9 Break forth, sing out together, O ruins of Jerusalem! For YHWH has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 YHWH has bared the arm of His holiness before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

11 Turn aside, turn aside! Go out from there! An unclean thing you? will not touch! Go out from her midst, purify yourselves, ones bearing the vessels of YHWH.

12 But not with haste will you? go forth, and in flight you? will not go; for YHWH goes before you?, and the God of Israel gathers you?.

13 Behold, My Servant will prosper; he will rise up, and be lifted up and highly exalted.

14 Just as many were dismayed at Him—His appearance was so disfigured beyond any man, and his form beyond any sons of man—

15 so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what had not been recounted to them, they will see, and what they had not heard, they will understand.
