Isaiah 52-53  New International Version

52 Awake, awake,^(A) Zion,
    clothe yourself with strength!^(B)
Put on your garments of splendor,^(C)
    Jerusalem, the holy city.^(D)
The uncircumcised^(E) and defiled^(F)
    will not enter you again.^(G)
2 Shake off your dust;^(H)
    rise up,^(I) sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,^(J)
    Daughter Zion,^(K) now a captive.

“You were sold for nothing,^(L)
    and without money^(M) you will be redeemed.^(N)”

“At first my people went down to Egypt^(O) to live;
    lately, Assyria^(P) has oppressed them.

“For my people have been taken away for nothing,
    and those who rule them mock,^[a]”
declares the Lord.
“And all day long
    my name is constantly blasphemed.^(Q)
6 Therefore my people will know^(R) my name;^(S)
    therefore in that day^(T) they will know
that it is I who foretold^(U) it.
    Yes, it is I.”

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains^(V)
    are the feet of those who bring good news,^(W)
who proclaim peace,^(X)
    who bring good tidings,
    who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”^(Y)
8 Listen! Your watchmen^(Z) lift up their voices;^(AA)
    together they shout for joy.^(AB)
When the Lord returns^(AC) to Zion,^(AD)
    they will see it with their own eyes.
⁹ Burst into songs of joy^(AE) together,
    you ruins^(AF) of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted^(AG) his people,
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.^(AH)
10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm^(AI)
    in the sight of all the nations,^(AJ)
and all the ends of the earth^(AK) will see
    the salvation^(AL) of our God.

¹¹ Depart,^(AM) depart, go out from there!
    Touch no unclean thing!^(AN)
Come out from it and be pure,^(AO)
    you who carry the articles^(AP) of the Lord’s house.
¹² But you will not leave in haste^(AQ)
    or go in flight;
for the Lord will go before you,^(AR)
    the God of Israel will be your rear guard.^(AS)

53 Who has believed our message^(BC)
    and to whom has the arm^(BD) of the Lord been revealed?^(BE)
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,^(BF)
    and like a root^(BG) out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance^(BH) that we should desire him.
³ He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering,^(BI) and familiar with pain.^(BJ)
Like one from whom people hide^(BK) their faces
    he was despised,^(BL) and we held him in low esteem.

⁴ Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(BM)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(BN)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(BO)
5 But he was pierced^(BP) for our transgressions,^(BQ)
    he was crushed^(BR) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(BS) that brought us peace^(BT) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(BU) we are healed.^(BV)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(BW)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(BX)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(BY) of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed^(BZ) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(CA)
he was led like a lamb^(CB) to the slaughter,^(CC)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
⁸ By oppression^[e] and judgment^(CD) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(CE)
    for the transgression^(CF) of my people he was punished.^[f]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,^(CG)
    and with the rich^(CH) in his death,
though he had done no violence,^(CI)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.^(CJ)

¹⁰ Yet it was the Lord’s will^(CK) to crush^(CL) him and cause him to suffer,^(CM)
    and though the Lord makes^[g] his life an offering for sin,^(CN)
he will see his offspring^(CO) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(CP) in his hand.
¹¹ After he has suffered,^(CQ)
    he will see the light^(CR) of life^[h] and be satisfied^[i];
by his knowledge^[j] my righteous servant^(CS) will justify^(CT) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.^(CU)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,^[k](CV)
    and he will divide the spoils^(CW) with the strong,^[l]
because he poured out his life unto death,^(CX)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.^(CY)
For he bore^(CZ) the sin of many,^(DA)
    and made intercession^(DB) for the transgressors.
