Chapter 53 Who has believed our report And to whom as the arm of the Lord been Revealed For he shall grow up before him as a Tender plant And as a root out of dry ground He has no form or comeliness And when we see him there is no beauty That we should desire him He is despised and rejected by men A Man of Sorrows and acquainted with Grief And we hid as it were our faces from him He was despised and we did not esteem Him Surely he has borne our griefs and Carried our sorrows Yet we esteemed him stricken Smitten by God and afflicted But he was wounded for our Transgressions He was bruised for our iniquities The chastisement for our peace was upon Him And by his stripes we are healed All we like sheep have gone astray We have turned everyone to his own way And the lord has laid on him the Iniquity of us all He was oppressed and he was afflicted Yet he opened not his mouth He was led as a lamb to the slaughter And as a sheep before its shearers is
Silent So he opened not his mouth He was taken from prison and from Judgment And who will declare his generation For he was cut off from the land of the Living For the transgressions of my people he Was stricken And they made his grave with the wicked But with the rich at his death Because he had done no violence Nor was any deceit in his mouth Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him He has put him to grief When you make his soul an offering for Sin He shall see his seed He shall prolong his days And the pleasure of the Lord shall Prosper in his hand He shall see the labor of his soul and Be satisfied By his knowledge my righteous servant Shall justify many For he shall bear their iniquities Therefore I will divide him a portion With the Great And he shall divide the spoil with the Strong Because he poured out his soul unto Death And he was numbered with the Transgressors
And he bore the sin of many And made intercession for the Transgressors
