Isaiah 52:2-4

Modern English Version

²Shake yourself from the dust;
arise, O captive Jerusalem.
Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.

³For thus says the Lord:

You were sold for nothing,
and you shall be redeemed without money.

⁴For thus says the Lord God:

My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there;
then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
