Isaías 52,1-15
Chapter LII.
1 Christ perswadeth the Church to beleeue his free Redemption, 7 To receiue the Ministers thereof, 9 To ioy in the power thereof, 11 And to free themselues from bondage. 13 Christs kingdome shalbe exalted.
1 Awake, [ Isa_51:17.] awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, put on thy beautifull garments, O Ierusalem the holy citie: for hencefoorth there shall no more come into thee the vncircumcised, and the vncleane.
2 Shake thy selfe from the dust: arise, and sit downe, O Ierusalem: loose thy selfe from the bandes of thy necke, O captiue daughter of Zion.
3 For thus sayth the Lord, Yee haue solde your selues for nought: and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 For thus saith the Lord God, My people went downe aforetime into [ Gen_46:6.] Egypt to soiourne there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what haue I here, sayth the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule ouer them, make them to howle, sayth the Lord, and my Name continually euery day is [ Eze_36:20; Eze_36:23; Rom_2:24.] blasphemed.
6 Therefore my people shall know my Name: therefore they shall know in that day, that I am he that doth speake. Behold, it is I.
7 [ Nah_1:15; Rom_10:15.] How beautifull vpon the mountaines are the feete of him that
[The deliuerance of the Church.]
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth saluation, that sayth vnto Zion, Thy God reigneth?
8 Thy watchmen shall lift vp the voice, with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring againe Zion.
9 Breake foorth into ioy, sing together, yee waste places of Ierusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Ierusalem.
10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arme in the eyes of all the nations, and [ Psa_92:8 ; Luk_3:6 .] all the endes of the earth shall see the saluation of our God.
11 Depart ye, depart ye, goe ye out from thence, [ 2Co_6:17 ; Rev_18:4 .] touch no vncleane thing; goe ye out of the middest of her; be yee cleane, that beare the vessels of the Lord.
12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor goe by flight: for the Lord will goe before you: and the God of Israel will [ Hebrew: gather you vp.] be your rereward.
13 Behold, my seruant shal [ Or, prosper.] deale prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonied at thee (his [ Isa_53:3 .] visage was so marred more then any man, and his forme more then the sonnes of men:)
15 So shall hee sprinckle many nations, the kings shall shut their mouthes at him: for that [ Rom_15:21 .] which had not beene told them, shall they see, and that which they had not heard, shall they consider.
