Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:1 - Who has believed what he has heard from us?[fn]
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:2 - For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:3 - He was despised and rejected[fn] by men,
a man of sorrows[fn] and acquainted with[fn] grief;[fn]
and as one from whom men hide their faces[fn]
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:4 - Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:5 - But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:6 - All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:7 - He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:8 - By 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 living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:9 - And they made his grave with the wicked
and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:10 - Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him;
he has put him to grief;[fn]
when his soul makes[fn] an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:11 - Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see[fn] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,
make many to be accounted righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 53:12 - Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,[fn]
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,[fn]
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
