Isaiah 52:4 in Context — Isaiah 52

2 Sacúdete del polvo; levántate y siéntate, Jerusalem; suéltate de las ataduras de tu cuello, cautiva hija de Sión.

3 Porque así dice Jehová: De balde fuisteis vendidos; por tanto, sin dinero seréis rescatados.

4 Porque así dijo el Señor Jehová: Mi pueblo descendió á Egipto en tiempo pasado, para peregrinar allá; y el Assur lo cautivó sin razón.

5 Y ahora ¿qué á mí aquí, dice Jehová, ya que mi pueblo sea llevado sin por qué? Y los que en él se enseñorean, lo hacen aullar, dice Jehová, y continuamente es blasfemado mi nombre todo el día.

6 Por tanto, mi pueblo sabrá mi nombre por esta causa en aquel día: porque yo mismo que hablo, he aquí estaré presente.
