³ Call unto^▵ Me, and I will answer thee, and tell thee of great and fortified things; thou knowest them not.

¹ Stir thyself, stir thyself; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on the garments of thy splendor, O Jerusalem, thou city of holiness! For no^◦ more^◦ shall come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

² Shake·​·off the dust from thyself; arise, sit, O Jerusalem; loose^◦ thyself from the bonds^◦ of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion!

³ For thus says Jehovah, For·​·nothing you have·​·sold yourselves; and not with silver shall you be redeemed.

⁴ For thus says the Lord Jehovih^*, My people went·​·down at the first to Egypt to sojourn there; and Assyria oppressed them for nothing^◦.

⁵ And now, what have^◦ I^◦ here? says^◦ Jehovah. For My people is taken for·​·nothing, their rulers make them howl, says^◦ Jehovah, and continually all the day is My name disdained.

⁶ Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that^◦ day they shall know that I^◦ am He^◦ who speaks; behold, it is I.

⁷ How comely· on the mountains ·are the feet of him who brings·​·tidings, who makes peace to be heard; who brings·​·tidings of good, who makes salvation to be heard! Who says unto Zion, Thy God reigns!

⁸ The voice of thy watchmen; they shall lift up their voice; they shall sing·​·aloud together; for eye to eye shall they see, when Jehovah returns to Zion.

⁹ Burst·​·forth, sing·​·aloud together, O ye wastes of Jerusalem! For Jehovah has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem!

¹⁰ Jehovah has made·​·bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends^◦ of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

¹¹ Remove ye, remove ye, go· ye ·out from thence; touch no^◦ unclean thing; go· ye ·out from the midst of her; be ye purified, ye who bear the vessels of Jehovah!

¹² For you shall not go·​·out with rushing, and you shall not go with fleeing; for Jehovah will walk before you, and the God of Israel will gather· you ·in.

¹³ Behold, My Servant shall have·​·intelligence; He shall be exalted and borne·​·up, and shall be very lofty.

¹⁴ As^◦ many were·​·astonished at Thee, so His appearance was marred more than any man^◦, and His form^◦ more than the sons of man.

¹⁵ So shall He spatter many nations; concerning Him kings shall shut· their mouth ·tightly; for that which was not recounted^◦ to them shall they see; and that which they had not heard they shall understand.
