2. Shake the dust off yourself;rise up; sit enthroned, Jerusalem.Loose the bonds from your neck,captive Daughter Zion!
3. The Lord proclaims:You were sold for nothing,and you will be redeemed without money.
4. The Lord God proclaims:Long ago my people went downto reside in Egypt.Moreover, Assyria has oppressed them without cause.
5. And now what have I here? says the Lord.My people are taken away for nothing.Their rulers wail, says the Lord, and continually all day long my name is despised.
6. Therefore, my people will know my name on that day;I’m the one who promises it; I’m here.
