‏ Isaiah 52:2

2. from the dust--the seat of mourners (Job 2:12, 13).

arise, and sit--namely, in a more dignified place: on a divan or a throne [Lowth], after having shaken off the dust gathered up by the flowing dress when seated on the ground; or simply, "Arise, and sit erect" [Maurer].

bands of ... neck--the yoke of thy captivity.
