1 Who has believed what we have heard? Or believed our report And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?2 He grew up before him like a young plant and like a root out of dry ground. He didn’t have an impressive form or majesty that we should look at him, no appearance that we should desire him.3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering who knew what sickness was. He was like someone people turned away from; Lit And like a hiding of faces from him he was despised, and we didn’t value him.4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses, and he carried our pains; but we in turn regarded him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds.6 We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished him for Or has placed on him ; lit with the iniquity of us all.7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth. Like a lamb led to the slaughter and like a sheep silent before her shearers, he did not open his mouth.8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment; and who considered his fate? Or and as for his generation, who considered him? For he was cut off from the land of the living; he was struck because of my people’s rebellion.9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, but he was with a rich man at his death, because he had done no violence and had not spoken deceitfully.10 Yet the Lord was pleased to crush him severely. Or him; he made him sick. When Or If you make him a guilt offering, he will see his seed, he will prolong his days, and by his hand, the Lord ’s pleasure will be accomplished.11 After his anguish, he will see light DSS, LXX; MT omits light and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many, and he will carry their iniquities.12 Therefore I will give him Or him with the many as a portion, and he will receive Or receive with the mighty as spoil, because he willingly submitted to death, and was counted among the rebels; yet he bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels.
