The Suffering Servant 1Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed? 2For He grew up before Him like a tender [†]shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should desire Him. 3He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of [†]sorrows and acquainted with [†]grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4Surely our [†]griefs He Himself [†]bore, And our [†]sorrows He [†]carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, [†]Smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But He was [†]pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our peace fell upon Him, And by His [†]wounds we are healed. 6All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But Yahweh has caused the iniquity of us all To [†]fall on Him. 7He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like 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 living, That for the transgression of my people, striking was due to Him? 9So His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. To crush Him, [†]putting Him to grief; If You would place His soul as a guilt offering, He will see His seed, He will prolong His days, And the [†]good pleasure of Yahweh will succeed in His hand. 11As a result of the [†]anguish of His soul, He will see [†]it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will [†]justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities. 12Therefore, I will divide for Him a portion with the many, And He will divide the spoil with the strong; Because He poured out His soul to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself [†]bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors. 2 Lit suckling 3 Or pains 3 Or sickness 4 Or sickness 4 Or carried 4 Or pains 4 Or bore 4 Or Struck down by 5 Or wounded 5 Lit wound 6 Lit encounter Him 8 Or life 10 Or it was the desire of Yahweh, cf.
