Isaiah 53

CHAPTER 53 The Sinless Lamb

1 O lord, who trusted our report? And the arm of the lord, to whom was it uncovered? 2 We announced as of a male child before him, as a root in a land thirsting. There is no appearance to him, nor glory; and we beheld him, and he does not have appearance nor beauty. 3 But his appearance was without honor, and wanting by sons of men. A man [²for ³calamity ¹being], and knowing how to bear infirmity. For he turned his face; he was dishonored and was not considered. 4 This one [²our sins ¹bore], and on account of us he was grieved. And we considered him to be for misery, and for calamity by God, and for ill treatment. 5 But he was wounded because of our sins, and he was made infirm on account of our lawless deeds. The discipline for our peace was upon him; by his stripe we were healed. 6 [²all ⁴as ⁵sheep ¹We were ³wandered]. A man [²in his way ¹was wandered], and the lord delivered him up for our sins. 7 And he on account of being inflicted by evil opened not his mouth. [²as ³a sheep ⁴unto ⁵slaughter ¹He was led], and as a lamb before the one shearing is voiceless, so he did not open his mouth. 8 In the humiliation, in his equity, he was lifted away. [³his generation ¹Who ²shall describe]? For [²was lifted away ³from ⁴the ⁵earth ¹his life]. Because of the lawless deeds of my people he was led unto death. 9 And I shall give the wicked for his burial, and the rich for his death. For [³lawlessness ¹he did not ²commit], nor was treachery in his mouth. 10 And the lord willed to cleanse him of the beating. If you should offer for a sin offering the thing for your life, he shall see [²seed ¹a long-lived]. 11 And the lord willed by his hand to remove misery of his soul, to show to him light, and to shape in the understanding; to justify the just one, the good one serving many, and [³their sins ¹he ²shall bear]. 12 On account of this he shall inherit many; and of the strong ones he will portion out spoils, because [²was delivered up ³unto ⁴death ¹his soul]; and [²among ³the ⁴lawless ones ¹he was considered]; and he himself [²the sins ³of many ¹bore], and because of their lawless deeds he was delivered up.
