‏ Isaiah 42:1

The Lord’s Chosen Servant

1 ^aBehold ^bmy servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, ^cin whom my soul delights;
^dI have put my Spirit upon him;
^ehe will bring forth justice to the nations.

‏ Isaiah 42:21

21 The Lord was pleased, for his righteousness’ sake,
to magnify his law and make it glorious.

‏ Isaiah 53:7-12

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
^fyet he opened not his mouth;
^glike a ^hlamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, ⁱwho considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
^jand with a rich man in his death,
although ^{▼▼Or because} ^lhe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet ^mit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; ^{▼▼Or he has made him sick}
^owhen his soul makes ^{▼▼Or when you make his soul} an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^qthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll he shall see light} and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall ^sthe righteous one, my servant,
^tmake many to be accounted righteous,
^uand he shall bear their iniquities.
12 ^vTherefore I will divide him a portion with the many, ^{▼▼Or with the great}
^xand he shall divide the spoil with the strong, ^{▼▼Or with the numerous}
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
^zyet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
