Isaiah 53
CHAP. LIII.
1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of Yhwh revealed? ▼▼ report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?
2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. ▼▼ we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us.
4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. ▼▼ wounded: or, tormented.
,
▼▼ stripes: Heb. bruise.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; And Yhwh hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. ▼▼ laid…: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. ▼▼ from prison…: or, away by distress and judgment: but, etc.
,
▼▼ was he…: Heb. was the stroke upon him.
9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. ▼▼ death: Heb. deaths.
10Yet it pleased Yhwh to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yhwh shall prosper in his hand. ▼▼ thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering.
11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
