se together: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall
convert Sion.

the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
52:10. The Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the
Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our
God.
52:11. Depart, depart, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing: go
out of the midst of her, be ye clean, you that carry the vessels of the
Lord.
52:12. For you shall not go out in a tumult, neither shall you make
haste by flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel
will gather you together.
52:13. Behold my servant shall understand, he shall be exalted, and
extolled, and shall be exceeding high.

inglorious among men, and his form among the sons of men.

him: for they to whom it was not told of him, have seen: and they that
