# Chapter 53
|
||
1 Who has believed what we have heard?
|
||
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
|
||
2 He grew up before him like a young plant
|
||
and like a root out of dry ground.
|
||
He didn’t have an impressive form
|
||
or majesty that we should look at him,
|
||
no appearance that we should desire him.
|
||
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
|
||
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.
|
||
He was like someone people turned away from;
|
||
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.
|
||
4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
|
||
and he carried our pains;
|
||
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
|
||
struck down by God, and afflicted.
|
||
5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion,
|
||
crushed because of our iniquities;
|
||
punishment for our peace was on him,
|
||
and we are healed by his wounds.
|
||
6 We all went astray like sheep;
|
||
we all have turned to our own way;
|
||
and the Lord has punished him
|
||
for the iniquity of us all.
|
||
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
|
||
yet he did not open his mouth.
|
||
Like a lamb led to the slaughter
|
||
and like a sheep silent before her shearers,
|
||
he did not open his mouth.
|
||
8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment,
|
||
and who considered his fate?
|
||
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
|
||
he was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
|
||
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
|
||
but he was with a rich man at his death,
|
||
because he had done no violence
|
||
and had not spoken deceitfully.
|
||
10 Yet the Lord was pleased to crush him severely.
|
||
When you make him a guilt offering,
|
||
he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,
|
||
and by his hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.
|
||
11 After his anguish,
|
||
he will see light and be satisfied.
|
||
By his knowledge,
|
||
my righteous servant will justify many,
|
||
and he will carry their iniquities.
|
||
12 Therefore I will give him the many as a portion,
|
||
and he will receive the mighty as spoil,
|
||
because he willingly submitted to death,
|
||
and was counted among the rebels;
|
||
yet he bore the sin of many
|
||
and interceded for the rebels. |
