Isaiah 52:5 in Context — Isaiah 52

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.

7 ¡Cuán hermosos son sobre los montes los pies del que trae alegres nuevas, del que publica la paz, del que trae nuevas del bien, del que publica salud, del que dice á Sión: Tu Dios reina!
