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.
5. “Now therefore, what do I do here,” says the Lord,“seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?Those who rule over them mock,” says the Lord,“and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
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.”
7. How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,who publishes peace,who brings good news,who proclaims salvation,who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8. Your watchmen lift up their voice,together they sing;for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord returns to Zion.
9. Break out into joy,sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem;for the Lord has comforted his people.He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10. The Lord has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations;and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11. Depart, depart, go out from there; touch no unclean thing!Go out from amongst her!Cleanse yourselves, you who carry the Lord’s vessels.
