Isaiah 52:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

²Shake off the dirt, Jerusalem!
Get up and sit on your throne.
People of Zion, you are no longer prisoners,
so take the chains off your neck.

³This is what the Lord says to you:

‘I received no money when I sold you.
And I will not pay anything to make you free again.’

⁴The Almighty Lord says,

‘Long ago, my people went to live for some time in Egypt.
At a later time, Assyria's army was cruel to them.
