The
Suffering Servant |
|
|
 |
Isaiah 53:1 |
|
Who has believed our message? And to whom has
the arm of the LORD been revealed? |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:2 |
|
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That
we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:3 |
|
He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of
sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:4 |
|
Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows
He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:5 |
|
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon
Him, And by His scourging we are healed. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:6 |
|
All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each
of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:7 |
|
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He
did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep
that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:8 |
|
By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land
of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due? |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:9 |
|
His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet
He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was
there any deceit in His mouth. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:10 |
|
But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting
Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His
offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper
in His hand. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:11 |
|
As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will
see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will
justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 53:12 |
|
Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the
great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself
to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin
of many, And interceded for the transgressors. |
