Isaiah 52:7-10

Zion Awakes, the Good News Is Announced, and the Servant Is Exalted

From Zion’s awakening and release from bondage, to the LORD’s explanation of redemption without money, to the heralding of good news and God’s reign, to the command for holy departure, to the astonishing exaltation and disfigurement of the Servant before the nations.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

7How 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!”

8Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.

9Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
