| Isa. 52:6 |
Therefore My people will know My name; therefore in that day [they will know] that I am He who speaks; here I am. |
| Isa. 52:7 |
How beautiful on the mountains / Are the feet of him who brings good news, / Of him who announces peace, who brings news of good things, / Who announces salvation; / Of him who says to Zion, Your God reigns! |

The voice of your watchmen! They lift up their voice; / They give a ringing shout together; / For they will see with their very own eyes / When Jehovah restores Zion. |
| Isa. 52:9 |
Break forth, give a ringing shout together, / You wasted places of Jerusalem, / For Jehovah has comforted His people, / He has redeemed Jerusalem. |

For you will not go out in haste, / And you will not go in flight; / For Jehovah will go before you, / And the God of Israel will be your rear guard. |
| Isa. 52:13 |
Indeed, My Servant will act wisely and will prosper; / He will be exalted and lifted up and very high. |
| Isa. 52:14 |
Even as many were astonished at Him-- / His visage was marred more than that of any man, / And His form more than that of the sons of men-- |
| Isa. 52:15 |
So will He surprise many nations; / Kings will shut their mouths because of Him; / For what had not been recounted to them they will see, / And what they had not heard of they will contemplate. |
