New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Isaiah 51
22 Thus says your Lord, the Lord, even your God Who contends for His people, "Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of reeling, The chalice of My anger; You will never drink it again.
23 "I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, Who have said to you, ’Lie down that we may walk over you.’ You have even made your back like the ground And like the street for those who walk over it."
Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion; Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you.
2 Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem; Loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus says the Lord, "You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed without money."
4 For thus says the Lord God, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what do I have here," declares the Lord, "seeing that My people have been taken away without cause?" Again the Lord declares, "Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually blasphemed all day long.
6 Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, ’Here I am.’"
7 How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, They shout joyfully together; For they will see with their own eyes When the Lord restores Zion.
9 Break forth, shout joyfully together, You waste places of Jerusalem; For the Lord has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
