"Wake up, wake up; put on your strength, Zion! Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the Holy City! For the uncircumcised and the unclean will no longer enter you.
2
Stand up, shake the dust off yourself! Take your seat, Jerusalem. Remove the bondsa from your neck, captive Daughter Zion."

For this is what the Lord says: "You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without silver."

For this is what the Lord God says: "At first My people went down to Egypt to live there, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.b5
So now what have I here"- the Lord's declaration- "that My people are taken away for nothing? Its rulers wail"- the Lord's declaration- "and My name is continually blasphemed all day long.c6
Therefore My people will know My name; therefore [they will know] on that day that I am He who says: Here I am."
