Isaiah 53
The Suffering Servant
1Who has believed our report?And to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
2For He grew up before Him like a tender ▼
▼Lit suckling
shoot,And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should desire Him.
3He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of ▼
▼Or pains
sorrows and acquainted with ▼▼Or sickness
grief;And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4Surely our ▼
▼Or sickness
griefs He Himself ▼▼Or carried
bore,And our ▼
▼Or pains
sorrows He ▼▼Or bore
carried;Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
▼
▼ Or Struck down by
Smitten of God, and afflicted.5But He was ▼
▼Or wounded
pierced through for our transgressions,He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our peace fell upon Him,
And by His ▼
▼Lit wound
wounds we are healed.6All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But Yahweh has caused the iniquity of us all
To ▼
▼Lit encounter Him
fall on Him.7He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of ▼
▼Or life
the living,That for the transgression of my people, striking was due to Him?
9So His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a rich man in His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10But ▼
▼Or it was the desire of Yahweh, cf. Ps 40:6
Yahweh was pleasedTo crush Him, ▼
▼Or He put Him to grief; lit He made Him sick
putting Him to grief;If You would place His soul as a guilt offering,
He will see His seed,
He will prolong His days,
And the ▼
▼Or will of, desire of; cf. Ps 40:6
good pleasure of Yahweh will succeed in His hand.11As a result of the ▼
▼Or toilsome labor
anguish of His soul,He will see ▼
▼Or light
it and be satisfied;By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will ▼
▼Or declare the many righteous, cf. 53:11a; 5:23
justify the many,As He will bear their iniquities.
12Therefore, I will divide for Him a portion with the many,
And He will divide the spoil with the strong;
Because He poured out His soul to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself ▼
▼Or carried
bore the sin of many,And interceded for the transgressors.
