1. Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come into thee.
2. Shake thyself from the dust; arise and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
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.
