Isaiah 53
The Suffering Servant
1 aWho has believed our message?And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2For He grew up before Him like a btender ▼
▼ Lit suckling
shoot,And like a root out of parched ground;
He has dno stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should ▼
▼ Lit desire
be attracted to Him.3He was fdespised and forsaken of men,
A man of ▼
▼ Or pains
sorrows and hacquainted with ▼▼ Or sickness
grief;And like one from whom men hide their face
He was jdespised, and we did not kesteem Him.
4Surely our ▼
▼ Or sickness
griefs He Himself mbore,And our ▼
▼ Or pains
sorrows He carried;Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
▼
▼ Or Struck down by
Smitten of pGod, and afflicted.5But He was ▼
▼ Or wounded
pierced through for rour transgressions,He was crushed for sour iniquities;
The tchastening for our ▼
▼ Or peace
well-being fell upon Him,And by vHis scourging we are healed.
6All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To ▼
▼ Lit encounter Him
fall on Him.7He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not xopen His mouth;
yLike a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of the ▼
▼ Or life
livingaaFor the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a abrich man in His death,
acBecause He had addone no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10But the Lord was pleased
To aecrush Him, ▼
▼ Lit He made Him sick
,
agputting Him to grief;If ▼
▼ Lit His soul
He would render Himself as a guilt aioffering,He will see aj His ▼
▼ Lit seed
offspring,He will prolong His days,
And the ▼
▼ Or will of
good ampleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.11As a result of the ▼
▼ Or toilsome labor
anguish of His soul,He will aosee ▼
▼ Another reading is light
it and be satisfied;By His aqknowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will arbear their iniquities.
12Therefore, I will allot Him a asportion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out ▼
▼ Lit His soul
,
auHimself to death,And was avnumbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself awbore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
