1. Awake, awake!Put on your strength, O Zion;put on your beautiful garments,O Jerusalem, the holy city.For the uncircumcised and the uncleanwill no longer enter you.
2. Shake yourself from the dust;arise, O captive Jerusalem.Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck,O captive daughter of Zion.
3. For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing,and you shall be redeemed without money.
4. For thus says the Lord God: My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there;then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
