3For thus sayth the Lord, Yee haue solde your selues for nought: and ye shall be redeemed without money. 4For thus saith the Lord God, My people went downe aforetime into Egypt to soiourne there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 5Now therefore, what haue I here, sayth the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule ouer them, make them to howle, sayth the Lord, and my Name continually euery day is blasphemed. 6Therefore my people shall know my Name: therefore they shall know in that day, that I am he that doth speake. Behold, it is I. 7¶ How beautifull vpon the mountaines are the feete of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth saluation, that sayth vnto Zion, Thy God reigneth?
