20 Thy sons are they that are helpless, that lie down at the head of every passage way like sodden herbs; that are full of the wrath of the Lord, that are undone through the Lord God.

21 Therefore hear, thou that art humbled, and drunken, not with wine:

22 Thus saith the Lord, the God that judgeth his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of falling, the goblet of (my) wrath, and thou shalt no more drink it again:

23 And I will put it ’the hands of them that did thee wrong, and them that humbled thee; which said to thy soul Bow down, that we may pass by; and thou laidest thy back even with the ground, without, for them that went by.

LII. 1 Awake, awake, Zion; put on thy strength, Zion, and put on ’glory, Jerusalem, holy city; no longer shall there pass through thee again (one) uncircumcised and unclean.

275

2 Shake off the dust, and arise; sit down, O Jerusalem, put off the bond from thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye were sold for nought, and not with money shall ye be ransomed.

4 Thus saith the Lord, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there, and by force were they led to the Assyrians.

5 And now, why are ye here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people were seized for nought, ye marvel and wail. Thus saith the Lord, Because of you my name is continually blasphemed among the nations.

6 Therefore my people shall learn my name in that day, that I am verily he that speaketh: I am here,

7 Like beauty upon the mountains, like the feet of one bringing glad tidings of news of peace, like one that bringeth glad tidings of good things; for I will make thy salvation heard, saying to Zion, God shall reign over thee.
