Isaiah 52:3-6

International Children’s Bible

³This is what the Lord says:
“You were not sold for a price.
So you will be saved without cost.”
⁴This is what the Lord God says:
“First my people went down to Egypt to live.
Later Assyria made them slaves.

⁵“Now see what has happened,” says the Lord.
“Another nation has taken away my people for nothing.
    This nation who rules them makes fun of me,” says the Lord.
    “All day long they speak against me.
⁶But this has happened so my people will know who I am.
    They will know I am God.
    And they will know that I am the one speaking to them.”
