CHAPTER 52
Isaiah 52:1
1 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. Isaiah 52:2
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself
from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. Isaiah 52:3
3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be
redeemed without money.
Isaiah 52:4
4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to
sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Isaiah 52:5
5 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 is blasphemed. Isaiah 52:6
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that
day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. Isaiah 52:7
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good
tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that
publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Isaiah 52:8
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they
sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Isaiah 52:11

out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward. Isaiah 52:13
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled,
and be very high.
Isaiah 52:14
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man,
and his form more than the sons of men: Isaiah 52:15
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at
him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they
had not heard shall they consider. CHAPTER 53
Isaiah 53:1
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there
is no beauty that we should desire him. Isaiah 53:3

grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we

iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:7

brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isaiah 53:8
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his
generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he stricken. Isaiah 53:9
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Isaiah
53:10
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou
shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall
prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Isaiah 53:11
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his
knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their
iniquities.
Isaiah 53:12
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide
the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and
he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors. CHAPTER 54

aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of
the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. Isaiah
54:2
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of
thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth,
and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. Isaiah 54:5

Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. Isaiah 54:7

gather thee.
Isaiah 54:8
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting
kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. Isaiah 54:9

waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would
not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. Isaiah 54:10

shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed,
saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. Isaiah 54:11

lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster
to destroy.

shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage
of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
