Isaiah 52: How Beautiful Are the Feet

God called Zion to awake and put on strength and beautiful garments, and to shake off the dust and chains. You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money. God's people had been taken by Egypt and Assyria, and his name was blasphemed, but they would know his name. How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace... who says to Zion, Your God reigns! The watchmen would shout for joy, and the ruins of Jerusalem would sing, for Yahweh had comforted his people. All the ends of the earth would see God's salvation. God told his people to depart and be clean, going out not in haste, for Yahweh would go before them. What many call the fourth Servant Song began: Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up. Many were astonished at him, for his appearance was marred, yet he would cleanse many nations.
