Isaiah 52:4-6

International Standard Version

⁵ “Now therefore, what^[c] am I doing here,” asks^[d] the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away without cause? Those who rule over them are deluded,”^[e] says the Lord, “and continuously, all the day long, my name is blasphemed. ⁶ Therefore my people will know my name; in that day^[f] they’ll know that it is I who speaks, ‘Here I am!’
