Isaiah 52:3-5
Modern English Version

3 For thus says the Lord:

You were sold for nothing,
    and you shall be redeemed without money.

4 For thus says the Lord God:

My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there;
    then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

5 Now therefore, what do I have here, says the Lord,

seeing that My people have been taken away for nothing?
    Those who rule over them make them wail,
    says the Lord,
and My name is continually blasphemed
    all day long.
