1 Wake up, wake up, Jerusalem! Become strong!Be beautiful again,holy city of Jerusalem.The people who do not worship God and who are not purewill not enter you again.
2 Jerusalem, you once were a prisoner.Now shake off the dust and stand up.Jerusalem, you once were a prisoner.Now free yourself from the chains around your neck.
3 This is what the Lord says:“You were not sold for a price,so you will be saved without cost.”
4 This is what the Lord God says:“First my people went down to Egypt to live.Later Assyria made them slaves.
