Isaiah 52:3-5

The Voice

Eternal One: You were taken for nothing,
        and it’s nothing for Me to get you back.

Eternal One: My people willingly went to live in Egypt long ago;
        but now Assyria has oppressed My people for no good reason.

⁵     So what now? Babylon has assumed it can simply take My people away
        with no recompense and no respect.
    Their tyrannical rulers jeer and cheer
        and continually deride My name.
