Chapter 53 | |
1 |
Who
hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
|
2 | For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. |
3 | He is 1despised and
rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it
were our faces from him; he was 2despised, and we esteemed him not.
|
4 |
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and
carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and
afflicted. |
5 | But he was
wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and
1with his 2stripes we are healed.
|
6 |
All we like 1sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
|
7 |
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he 1opened not his mouth:
2he is
brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
|
8 |
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his
generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he stricken.
|
9 | And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the 1rich
in his death;
2because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his
mouth.
|
10 | Yet it pleased
the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul
an 1offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the
pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
|
11 | He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. |
12 | Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall
divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto
death: and he was numbered with the transgressors;
and he bare the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
