Isaiah

Isaiah 52:7–8

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.
