Awake! Awake! Put on
Your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, O holy city;
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
Will no longer come into you.

Shake yourself from the dust; arise,
Sit down, O Jerusalem;
Loose yourself from the bonds on your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.

For thus says Jehovah, You are those who have been sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.

For thus says the Lord Jehovah, At first My people went down to Egypt to sojourn there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

Now then what do I have here, declares Jehovah, since My people have been taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them howl, declares Jehovah, and My name is continually blasphemed all day long.

Therefore My people will know My name; therefore in that day they will know that I am He who speaks; here I am.

How beautiful on the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Of him who announces peace, who brings news of good things,
Who announces salvation;
Of him who says to Zion,  ¹Your God reigns!

The voice of your watchmen! They lift up their voice;
They give a ringing shout together;
For they will see with their very own eyes
When Jehovah restores Zion.

Break forth, give a ringing shout together,
You wasted places of Jerusalem,
For Jehovah has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.

Jehovah has bared His holy  ¹arm
In the sight of all the nations,
And all the ends of the earth will see
The salvation of our God.

Depart! Depart! Go out from  ¹there!
Do not touch any unclean thing!
Go out from the midst of her! Cleanse yourselves,
You who bear the  ²vessels of Jehovah!

For you will not go out in haste,
And you will not go in flight;
For Jehovah will go before you,
And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

Indeed, My  ¹Servant will act  ²wisely and will prosper;
He will be  ³exalted and lifted up and very high.

Even as many were astonished at  ¹Him —
His  ²visage was marred more than that of any man,
And His form more than that of the sons of men —

So will He  ¹surprise many nations;
Kings will  ¹shut their mouths because of Him;
For what had not been  ²recounted to them they will see,
And what they had not heard of they will contemplate.

Who has believed our  ¹report?
And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been  ¹revealed?

 ¹For He grew up like a tender  ²plant before Him,
And like a root out of dry ground.
He has no  ³attracting form nor majesty that we should look upon Him,
Nor beautiful appearance that we should desire Him.

He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of  ¹sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their faces,
He was despised; and we did not esteem Him.

Surely He has  ¹borne our  ²sicknesses,
And carried our  ²sorrows;
 ³Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God and afflicted.

 ¹But He was wounded because of our transgressions;
He was crushed because of our iniquities;
The chastening for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we have been  ²healed.

We all like sheep have gone astray;
Each of us has turned to his own way,
And Jehovah has caused the iniquity of  ¹us all
To  ²fall on Him.

He was  ¹oppressed, and it was He who was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter
And like a sheep that is dumb before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.

 ¹By oppression and by judgment He was taken away;
And as for His  ²generation, who among them had the thought
That He was cut off out of the land of the living
For the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?

And they  ¹assigned His grave with the wicked,
But with a rich man in His  ²death,
Although He had done  ³no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

But Jehovah was pleased to crush Him, to afflict Him with grief.
When He makes Himself an  ¹offering for sin,
He will see a  ²seed, He will  ³extend His days,
And the  ⁴pleasure of Jehovah will prosper in His hand.

He will see the  ¹fruit of the travail of His soul,
And He will be  ²satisfied;
By the  ³knowledge of Him, the righteous One, My Servant, will  ⁴make the many righteous,
And He will bear their iniquities.

Therefore I will divide to Him a portion with the  ¹Great,
And He will divide the  ²spoil with the  ¹Strong;
Because He poured out His  ³life unto death
And was  ⁴numbered with the transgressors,
Yet He alone bore the sin of many
And  ⁴interceded for the transgressors.

Give a ringing shout, O barren one, you who have not borne;
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry out, you who have not been in labor;
For more numerous are the children of the desolate one
Than the children of the married woman, says Jehovah.

Enlarge your tent site,
Let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations;
Spare not;
Lengthen your cords,
And strengthen your pegs;

For on the right and on the left you will break open,
And your seed will possess the nations
And will cause the desolate cities to be inhabited.

Fear not, for you will not be put to shame;
Neither be humiliated, for you will not be ashamed;
But you will forget the shame of your youth,
And the reproach of your widowhood you will no longer remember.

For your Maker is your  ¹Husband;
Jehovah of hosts is His name.
And the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
He is called the God of all the earth.

For Jehovah has called you,
Like a wife who has been forsaken and is grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one's youth when she has been rejected,
Says your God.

For a short moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will gather you.

In a flood of wrath I hid
My face from you for a moment,
But with eternal lovingkindness I will have mercy on you,
Says Jehovah your Redeemer.

For this is like the waters of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would not overflow the earth ever again;
So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
Nor will I rebuke you.

For the mountains may depart,
And the hills may shake,
But My lovingkindness will not depart from you,
And My  ¹covenant of peace will not shake,
Says Jehovah who has compassion on you.

O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted,
Indeed, I Myself will lay down your stones in dark mortar,
And will lay your foundations with sapphires.

And I will make your battlements of rubies,
And your gates of carbuncles,
And all your borders will be precious stones.

And all your children will be taught of Jehovah,
And the peace of your children will be great.

In righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from oppression, for you will not fear,
And far from terror, for it will not come near you.

Indeed, they may fiercely attack you, but it is not of Me;
Whoever attacks you will fall because of you.

Indeed, it is I who have created the blacksmith
Who blows the fire of the coals,
And brings out a weapon for its work;
And it is I who have created the destroyer to ruin.

 ¹No weapon that is formed against you will prosper,
And every tongue that rises up to judge you, you will condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah,
And their righteousness which is of Me, declares Jehovah.
