1. Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion.Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city:for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
2. Shake yourself from the dust!Arise, sit up, Jerusalem!Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3. For the Lord says, “You were sold for nothing;and you will be redeemed without money.”
4. For thus says the Lord GOD:“My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there:and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
