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.

8 For the voice of them that watch over thee is upraised, and with their voice shall they rejoice together: for eyes shall look - upon eyes, when the Lord hath mercy upon Zion.

9 Let the waste places of jerusalem break forth together in joy, for the Lord hath mercy upon her, and bath delivered Jerusalem.

10 And the Lord will make bare his holy arm before all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation that cometh from God.

11 Depart, depart ye, go forth from thence, and touch not what is unclean; go forth from the midst of her, separate yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of the Lord.

12 For not with confusion shall ye go forth, nor in ﬂight shall ye go: for the Lord will go before in front of you, and the Lord, the God of Israel, is he that gathereth you together.

13 Behold, my servant shall understand, and shall be exalted, and be glorified exceedingly.

14 Like as many shall be amazed at thee,—so shall thy be despised from among men, and thy glory from among men.

15 So shall many nations marvel at him, and kings shall shut their mouth; for (they) to whom it was not declared shall see concerninglhim, and they who have not heard shall understand.
