Stand up, shake the dust off yourself!
Take your seat, Jerusalem.
Remove the bonds[a] from your neck,
captive Daughter Zion.”
For this is what the Lord says:
“You were sold for nothing,
and you will be redeemed without silver.”(A)
For this is what the Lord God says:
“At first my people went down to Egypt to reside there,(B)
then Assyria oppressed them without cause.[b]
