Isaiah

Isaiah 52:5–6

⁵And now what have I here?

declares the LORD.

For My people have been taken without cause;

those who rule them taunt,^a

declares the LORD,

and My name is blasphemed continually

all day long.^b

⁶Therefore My people will know My name;

therefore they will know on that day

that I am He who speaks.

Here I am!”
