Isaiah 40:1

“^aComfort, O comfort My people,” says your God.

Isaiah 40:2

“^aSpeak to the heart of Jerusalem;

And call out to her, that her ¹^bwarfare has been fulfilled,

That her ²^ciniquity has been removed,

That she has received from the hand of Yahweh

^dDouble for all her sins.”

^aAwake, awake,

Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion;

Clothe yourself in your ^bglorious garments,

O Jerusalem, the ^choly city;

For the uncircumcised and the ^dunclean

Will no longer come into you.

Shake yourself ^afrom the dust, ^brise up,

O captive Jerusalem;

^cLoose yourself from the chains around your neck,

O captive daughter of Zion.
