Daily Bread

²¹ Therefore hear this, you afflicted^(R) one,
    made drunk,^(S) but not with wine.
²² This is what your Sovereign Lord says,
    your God, who defends^(T) his people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
    the cup^(U) that made you stagger;
from that cup, the goblet of my wrath,
    you will never drink again.
²³ I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,^(V)
    who said to you,
    ‘Fall prostrate^(W) that we may walk^(X) on you.’
And you made your back like the ground,
    like a street to be walked on.”^(Y)

52 Awake, awake,^(Z) Zion,
    clothe yourself with strength!^(AA)
Put on your garments of splendor,^(AB)
    Jerusalem, the holy city.^(AC)
The uncircumcised^(AD) and defiled^(AE)
    will not enter you again.^(AF)
2 Shake off your dust;^(AG)
    rise up,^(AH) sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,^(AI)
    Daughter Zion,^(AJ) now a captive.

“You were sold for nothing,^(AK)
    and without money^(AL) you will be redeemed.^(AM)”

“At first my people went down to Egypt^(AN) to live;
    lately, Assyria^(AO) has oppressed them.

“For my people have been taken away for nothing,
    and those who rule them mock,^[b]”
declares the Lord.
“And all day long
    my name is constantly blasphemed.^(AP)
6 Therefore my people will know^(AQ) my name;^(AR)
    therefore in that day^(AS) they will know
that it is I who foretold^(AT) it.
    Yes, it is I.”

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains^(AU)
    are the feet of those who bring good news,^(AV)
who proclaim peace,^(AW)
    who bring good tidings,
    who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”^(AX)
8 Listen! Your watchmen^(AY) lift up their voices;^(AZ)
    together they shout for joy.^(BA)
When the Lord returns^(BB) to Zion,^(BC)
    they will see it with their own eyes.
⁹ Burst into songs of joy^(BD) together,
    you ruins^(BE) of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted^(BF) his people,
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.^(BG)
10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm^(BH)
    in the sight of all the nations,^(BI)
and all the ends of the earth^(BJ) will see
    the salvation^(BK) of our God.

¹¹ Depart,^(BL) depart, go out from there!
    Touch no unclean thing!^(BM)
Come out from it and be pure,^(BN)
    you who carry the articles^(BO) of the Lord’s house.
¹² But you will not leave in haste^(BP)
    or go in flight;
for the Lord will go before you,^(BQ)
    the God of Israel will be your rear guard.^(BR)
