3 For thus says the Lord: “You were ⁱsold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed ^jwithout money.” 4 For thus says the Lord God: ^k“My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.¹ 5 Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and continually all the day ^lmy name is ^mdespised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”
