Isaiah 52 contains a message of hope and restoration for God's people. The chapter begins with a call to awaken and prepare for the liberation God will bring, and continues with a prophecy about the redemption and restoration of God's people. Here are five verses related to the themes of the chapter:

Psalm 98:3 - "He remembered his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth saw the salvation of our God." This verse talks about God's mercy and faithfulness to his people, just as Isaiah 52 emphasizes the liberation and restoration of God's people.

Jeremiah 31:10 - "I heard, nations, the word of the Lord, and announce in the distant islands, and say, He who spread to Israel shall congregate him and guard him, as the pastor to his flock." This verse talks about God's promise to gather his dispersed people and protect them as a pastor takes care of his flock, which is similar to the message of hope of Isaiah 52.

Zechariah 9:12 - "Return to the fortress, O prisoners of hope, also today I announce to you that I will restore you in double." This verse talks about the restoration of God's people and the promise that they will be double restored, which is similar to the message of restoration and redemption of Isaiah 52.

Romans 10:15 - "And how will they preach if they are not sent? How is it written: how beautiful the feet of those who announce good things!" This verse talks about the importance of preaching the gospel, which is similar to the call to awaken and prepare for the liberation that God will bring, mentioned in Isaiah 52.

Ephesians 5:14 - "Therefore it says, Awake, you who sleep, and get up from the dead, and Christ will illuminate you." This verse talks about the call to awaken and rise from spiritual inactivity, which is similar to the call to awaken and prepare for the liberation that God will bring, mentioned in Isaiah 52.
