| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD revealed his powerful arm? |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2My servant grew up in the LORD’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But it was the LORD’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the LORD’s good plan will prosper in his hands. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier, because he exposed himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels. |
