1 Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, Zion!
2 Shake the dust from yourselves.
3 This is what the Lord says: You were sold, but no price was paid. You will be bought back, but without money.
4 This is what the Almighty Lord says: In the beginning my people went to Egypt to live there as foreigners. Later the Assyrians oppressed them for no reason.
5 So what do I find here? asks the Lord. My people are taken away for no reason. Their rulers are screaming, declares the Lord. And my name is cursed all day long.
6 Now my people will know my name. When that day comes, ⌞they will know⌟ that I am the one who says, “Here I am!”
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger
8 Listen! Your watchmen raise their voices
9 Break out into shouts of joy, ruins of Jerusalem.
10 The Lord will show his holy power to all the nations.
11 Run away! Run away!
12 You will not go away in a hurry,
13 My servant will be successful.
14 Many will be shocked by him.
15 He will cleanse many nations ⌞with his blood⌟.
