Isaiah 52:3-5
International Standard Version
3 For this is what the Lord says: “You were sold for nothing, and you’ll be redeemed without money.”
4 For this is what the Lord[a] says: “My people went down long ago into Egypt to live[b] there; the Assyrian, too, has oppressed them without cause.
5 “Now therefore, what[c] am I doing here,” asks[d] the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away without cause? Those who rule over them are deluded,”[e] says the Lord, “and continuously, all the day long, my name is blasphemed.
