Isaiah 52:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ The Lord God says, “First, my people went down to Egypt and became slaves. Then Assyria made them slaves. ⁵ Now look what has happened. Another nation has taken my people,” says the Lord. “That country did not pay to take my people, but they rule over them and laugh at them, and they say bad things about me all the time.” The Lord is the one saying these things.

⁶ “This happened so that my people will learn about me. My people will know who I am. My people will know my name, and they will know that I Am He^[a] is speaking to them.”
