Isaiah 52:4-6
New King James Version
4 For thus says the Lord God:
“My people went down at first
Into (A)Egypt to [a]dwell there;
Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here,” says the Lord,
“That My people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them
[b]Make them wail,” says the Lord,
“And My name is (B)blasphemed continually every day.
6 Therefore My people shall know My name;
Therefore they shall know in that day
That I am He who speaks:
‘Behold, it is I.’ ”

New American Standard Bible
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.’”
