Isaiah

Isaiah 52:7–10

⁷How beautiful on the mountains

are the feet of those who bring good news,^c

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.
