Isaiah 52:4-6
English Standard Version
4 For thus says the Lord God: (A)“My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.[a] 5 Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and (B)continually all the day my name is despised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name. (C)Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”

4 For this is what the Lord [a]God says: “My people (A)went down to Egypt first to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without reason. 5 And now, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason?” Again the Lord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My (B)name is continually reviled all day long. 6 Therefore, My people shall (C)know My name; therefore on that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”
