  Isaiah 52:7 In-Context

  5 "And now what do I have here?" declares the Lord. "For my people have been taken away for nothing, and those who rule them mock,Dead Sea Scrolls and Vulgate; Masoretic Text "wail" " declares the Lord. "And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed.

  6 Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I."

  7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

  8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the Lord returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes.

  9 Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
