Isaiah 52:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 For thus saith the Lord God, My people went [a]down afore time into Egypt to sojourn there, and Assyria [b]oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for naught, and they that rule over them, make them to howl, saith the Lord? and my Name all the day continually is [c]blasphemed?
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day, that I am he that do speak: behold, it is I.
