1 Jerusalem, wake up!Stand up and be strong.Holy city of Zion,dress in your best clothes.Those foreigners who ruinedyour sacred citywon't bother you again.
2 Zion, rise from the dust!Free yourself from the ropearound your neck.
3 The Lord says:My people, you were sold,but not for money;now you will be set free,but not for a payment.
4 Long ago you went to Egyptwhere you livedas foreigners.Then Assyria was cruel to you,
