Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, Zion; Clothe yourself with your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city; For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you.

2 Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.

Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, Captive Jerusalem; Release yourself from the chains around your neck, Captive daughter of Zion. Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, Daughter Zion, now a captive.

4 For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.

5 And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long. Now therefore what have I here,” declares the LORD, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the LORD, “and continually all the day my name is despised. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day <i>is</i> blasphemed. And now, what do I have here,” declares the LORD, “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason?” <i>Again</i> the LORD declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually reviled all day long. “And now what do I have here?” declares the LORD. “For my people have been taken away for nothing, and those who rule them mock,” declares the LORD. “And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed.
6 Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!” Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.” Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore <i>they shall know</i> in that day that I <i>am</i> he that doth speak: behold, <i>it is</i> I. Therefore, My people shall know My name; therefore on that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’” Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I.”
