Rh :And ye shall be redeemed without money.
 * For thus saith the Lord :
 * My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there;
 * And the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
 * Now therefore, what do I here, saith the ,
 * Seeing that My people is taken away for nought?
 * They that rule over them do howl, saith the ,
 * And My name continually all the day is blasphemed.
 * Therefore My people shall know My name;
 * Therefore they shall know in that day
 * That I, even He that spoke, behold, here I am.


 * How beautiful upon the mountains
 * Are the feet of the messenger of good tidings,
 * That announceth peace, the harbinger of good tidings,
 * That announceth salvation;
 * That saith unto Zion:
 * 'Thy God reigneth! '
 * Hark, thy watchmen! they lift up the voice,
 * Together do they sing;
 * For they shall see, eye to eye,
 * The returning to Zion.
 * Break forth into joy, sing together,
 * Ye waste places of Jerusalem;
 * For the hath comforted His people,
 * He hath redeemed Jerusalem.
 * The hath made bare His holy arm
 * In the eyes of all the nations;
 * And all the ends of the earth shall see
 * The salvation of our God.
 * Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence,
 * Touch no unclean thing;
 * Go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean,
 * Ye that bear the vessels of the.
 * For ye shall not go out in haste,
 * Neither shall ye go by flight;
 * For the will go before you,
 * And the God of Israel will be your rearward.


 * Behold, My servant shall prosper,
 * He shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
 * According as many were appalled at thee—
 * So marred was his visage unlike that of a man,
 * And his form unlike that of the sons of men—
 * So shall he startle many nations,
 * Kings shall shut their mouths because of him;
 * For that which had not been told them shall they see,
 * And that which they had not heard shall they perceive.
 * 'Who would have believed our report?
 * And to whom hath the arm of the been revealed?
 * For he shot up right forth as a sapling,
 * And as a root out of a dry ground;
 * He had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him,
 * Nor beauty that we should delight in him.
 * He was despised, and forsaken of men,
 * A man of pains, and acquainted with disease,
 * And as one from whom men hide their face:
 * He was despised, and we esteemed him not.
