Isaiah 52:2

Yahweh Redeems Zion

¹ Awake, awake,
Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
Will no longer come into you.
² 
Shake yourself from the dust, arise,
O captive Jerusalem;
Rid yourself of the chains around your neck,
O captive Daughter of Zion. ³ For the Lord says this, “You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed, but not with money.”
