Isaiah 53:1-11 ▼

1 Who has believed in our report? And the arm of YHWH—to whom has it been revealed?

2 For He grew up as a tender shoot before His face, and as a root out of a dry land. No form was unto Him, and no splendor that we should see Him, and no appearance that we should desire him.

3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with weakness; and like one from whom they hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely, our sicknesses He has lifted, and our sorrows, He has borne them; and we considered Him stricken—struck by God and afflicted.

5 And he was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes there is healing for us.

6 We all like sheep have gone astray, we have turned, each man to his own way; and YHWH has placed on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and he was afflicted, and he did not open his mouth; like a lamb led to the slaughter, and like a sheep before the faces of her shearers is silent, so He did not open his mouth.

8 By restraint and by judgment He was taken away, and His generation—who can recount? For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of My people He was stricken.

9 And He appointed His grave with the wicked, and with a rich one in his death; although He had done no violence, and no deceit was in his mouth.

10 And YHWH has delighted to bruise Him and Make Him weak; if his soul is made a guilt offering, He will see his seed; He will prolong His days; and the delight of YHWH will prosper in His hand.

11 He will see the light of life after the anguish of His soul and be satisfied; By His knowledge My Servant, the righteous one, will bring righteousness to many, and He will bear their iniquities.
