Isaiah 52:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ This is what the Lord says: You were sold, but no price was paid. You will be bought back, but without money.

⁴ This is what the Almighty Lord says: In the beginning my people went to Egypt to live there as foreigners. Later the Assyrians oppressed them for no reason. ⁵ So what do I find here? asks the Lord. My people are taken away for no reason. Their rulers are screaming, declares the Lord. And my name is cursed all day long.
