“Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.”
The call to awaken—'Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion! Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for the uncircumcised and the unclean shall enter you no more'—summons Zion to spiritual awakening and restoration. The repetition 'Awake, awake' emphasizes urgent renewal. The command to put on strength and beautiful garments suggests the restoration of dignity and power. The promise that uncircumcised and unclean shall enter no more affirms that defilement will end. This verse celebrates Zion's impending restoration to holiness and beauty.
