| The people needed to wake up and put on the '''beautiful [[garments]]'''. They needed to ''loose'' themselves by living by [[righteousness]] and not [[iniquity]] because that is the [[keys of  the Kingdom]]. They were not wearing the [[righteousness]] of God because they sold themselves for the [[wages of unrighteousness]] through [[covetous practices]] and received from those ''men who call themselves [[benefactors]] but  who [[exercise authority|rule over them]]''  and have gone back into the [[bondage of Egypt]] and followed the way of [[Assyria]]. Instead of living by the perfect law of liberty through [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]] and a [[daily ministration]] of [[pure Religion]] they lived by the [[covetous practices]] of [[force]], [[fear]], and [[fealty]]. Many thought they were doing great things in His name saying LORD, LORD but in fact were not [[doers]] of the word but rather [[workers of iniquity]] blaspheming his name in [[vanity]].

1 ¶ Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful [[garments]], O [[Jerusalem]], the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the un[[circumcise]]d and the [[unclean]].

2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O [[Jerusalem]]: loose thyself(הִֽתְפַּתְּחִי֙)<Ref name="pathach">{{06605}}</Ref> from [[the bands]] of thy neck, O [[captive]] daughter of Zion.

3 For thus saith the [[LORD]], Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed<Ref name="gaal">{{01305}}</Ref> without money<Ref name="keceph">{{03701}}</Ref>. 

4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into [[Egypt]] to sojourn there; and the [[Assyria]]n oppressed<Ref name="ashaq">{{06231}}</Ref> them without cause<Ref name="ephec">{{0657}}</Ref>.

5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the [[LORD]], that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day [is] [[blaspheme]]d.

6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of [[Jerusalem]]: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

10 The LORD 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.

11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.

13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
