Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our message?To whom has the Lord’s power been revealed?2 He grew up in his presence like a young tree,like a root out of dry ground.He had no form or majesty that would make us look at him.He had nothing in his appearance that would make us desire him.3 He was despised and rejected by people.He was a man of sorrows, familiar with suffering.He was despised like one from whom people turn their faces,and we didn’t consider him to be worth anything.4 He certainly has taken upon himself our sufferingand carried our sorrows,but we thought that God had wounded him,beat him, and punished him.5 He was wounded for our rebellious acts.He was crushed for our sins.He was punished so that we could have peace,and we received healing from his wounds.6 We have all strayed like sheep.Each one of us has turned to go his own way,and the Lord has laid all our sins on him.7 He was abused and punished,but he didn’t open his mouth.He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.He was like a sheep that is silentwhen its wool is cut off.He didn’t open his mouth.8 He was arrested, taken away, and judged.Who would have thought that he would be removedfrom the world?He was killed because of my people’s rebellion.9 He was placed in a tomb with the wicked.He was put there with the rich when he died,although he had done nothing violentand had never spoken a lie.10 Yet, it was the Lord’s will to crush him with suffering.When the Lord has made his life a sacrifice for our wrongdoings,he will see his descendants for many days.The will of the Lord will succeed through him.11 He will see and be satisfiedbecause of his suffering.My righteous servant will acquit many peoplebecause of what he has learned through suffering.He will carry their sins as a burden.12 So I will give him a share among the mighty,and he will divide the prize with the strong,because he poured out his life in deathand he was counted with sinners.He carried the sins of many.He intercedes for those who are rebellious.
Isaiah 53
1 Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.3 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?9 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.10 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
