3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nothing; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 For thus has the Lord GOD said, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian captured them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for nothing? And those among my people that take rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord; and my name is continually blasphemed every day.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name for this reason in that day: for even I that speak, behold, I shall be present.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace, that brings good tidings of good, that publishes saving health, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigns!
8 The voice of thy watchmen! They shall lift up the voice; together they shall rejoice: for they shall see eye to eye, how the Lord shall return to bring again Zion.
9 Sing praises, rejoice together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
