Isaiah 53:1-6 ▼

1 Who has given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of YHWH, || On whom has it been revealed?

2 Indeed, He comes up as a tender plant before Him, || And as a root out of dry land, || He has no form or splendor when we observe Him, || Nor appearance, that we desire Him.

3 He is despised, and left of men, || A Man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, || And as one hiding the face from us, || He is despised, and we did not esteem Him.

4 Surely He has borne our sicknesses, || And our pains—He has carried them, || And we have esteemed Him [as] plagued, struck of God, and afflicted.

5 And He is pierced for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, || The discipline of our peace [is] on Him, || And by His scourging we are healed.

6 All of us, like sheep, have wandered, || Man has turned to his own way, || And YHWH has laid on Him the punishment of us all.
