Isaiah 52:5-7

Contemporary English Version

^{5     (A)} and now another nation^[a]
has taken you prisoner
    for no reason at all.
Your leaders groan with pain,^[b]
and day after day
    my own name is cursed.
⁶ My people, you will learn
who I am and who is speaking
    because I am here.

^7 (B) What a beautiful sight!
On the mountains a messenger
    announces to Jerusalem,
“Good news! You're saved.
There will be peace.
    Your God is now King.”
