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,
