Isaiah 53

1Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed? 2and as a root out of dry ground. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. For he grew up before him as a tender plant, He has no good looks or majesty. 3and rejected by men; and acquainted with disease. and we didn’t respect him. He was despised, a man of suffering, He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; 4and carried our suffering; struck by God, and afflicted. Surely he has borne our sickness, yet we considered him plagued, 5He was crushed for our iniquities. and by his wounds we are healed. But he was pierced for our transgressions. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; 6Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. All we like sheep have gone astray. 7yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth. He was oppressed, As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, 8and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people? He was taken away by oppression and judgment; 9and with a rich man in his death; nor was any deceit in his mouth. They made his grave with the wicked, although he had done no violence, 10He has caused him to suffer. * and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand. Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. When you make his soul an offering for sin, He will prolong his days, 11* and be satisfied. and he will bear their iniquities. After the suffering of his soul, My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; 12and he will divide the plunder with the strong; and was numbered with the transgressors; and made intercession for the transgressors. Therefore will I give him a portion with the great, because he poured out his soul to death, yet he bore the sin of many,
