1 Awake, awake!Put on your strength, O Zion;Put on your beautiful garments,O Jerusalem, the holy city!For the uncircumcised and the uncleanShall no longer come to you.
2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise;Sit down, O Jerusalem!Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck,O captive daughter of Zion!
3 For thus says the Lord:“You have sold yourselves for nothing,And you shall be redeemed without money.”
4 For thus says the Lord God:“My people went down at firstInto Egypt to dwell there;Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
