“O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!”
A messenger is told to go up on a high mountain, to say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!" establishing the call for proclamation of God's presence and power to the people. The oracle invokes the image of a messenger ascending a high place to make proclamation visible and audible to the assembled people. The proclamation—"Behold your God!"—represents the core message of the second half of Isaiah.
