Isaiah 53

The Suffering Servant

1 ^aWho has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For He grew up before Him like a ^btender ^{▼▼Lit suckling}shoot,
And like a root out of dry ground;
He has ^dno stately form or majesty
That we would look at Him,
Nor an appearance that we would take pleasure in Him.
3 He was ^edespised and abandoned by men,
A man of ^{▼▼Lit pains}great pain and ^gfamiliar with sickness;
And like one from whom people hide their faces,
He was ^hdespised, and we had no ⁱregard for Him.

4 However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself ^jbore,
And our pains that He carried;
Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,
Struck down by ^kGod, and humiliated.
5 But He was ^{▼▼Or wounded}pierced for ^mour offenses,
He was crushed for ⁿour wrongdoings;
The ^opunishment for our ^{▼▼Or peace}well-being was laid upon Him,
And by ^qHis wounds we are healed.
6 All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all
To ^{▼▼Lit encounter Him}fall on Him.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
Yet He did not ^sopen His mouth;
^tLike a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off from the land of the ^{▼▼Or life}living
^v For the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?
9 And His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a ^wrich man in His death,
^xBecause He had ^ydone no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

10 But the Lord desired
To ^zcrush Him, ^{▼▼Lit He made Him sick
,} ^abcausing Him grief;
If He renders ^{▼▼Lit His soul}Himself as a guilt ^adoffering,
He will see ^aeHis ^{▼▼Lit seed}offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the ^{▼▼Or will of}good ^ahpleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
11 As a result of the ^{▼▼Or trouble}anguish of His soul,
He will ^{▼▼DSS see light; LXX also has light
,} ^aksee it and be satisfied;
By His ^alknowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
For He will ^ambear their wrongdoings.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a ^anportion with the great,
And He will divide the plunder with the strong,
Because He poured out His ^{▼▼Lit soul
,} ^aplife unto death,
And was ^aqcounted with wrongdoers;
Yet He Himself ^arbore the sin of many,
And interceded for the wrongdoers.
