Isaiah 53

^aWho hath believed our report?

And to whom is ^bthe arm of the Lord revealed?

²For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,

And as ^ca root out of ^da dry ground:

^eHe hath no form nor comeliness;

And when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

^3fHe is despised and ^grejected of men;

^hA man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:

And ⁱwe hid as it were our faces from him;

He was despised, and ^kwe esteemed him not.

⁴Surely ^lhe hath borne our griefs,

And carried our sorrows:

Yet we did esteem him ^mstricken,

ⁿSmitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵But ^ohe was ^pwounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities:

^qThe chastisement of ^qqour peace was upon him;

And ^rswith his stripes we are healed.

^6rtAll we like sheep have gone astray;

^tWe have turned every one to his own way;

And ^uthe Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

^7wHe was oppressed, and he was afflicted,

Yet ^xhe opened not his mouth:

^yzHe is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,

And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,

So he openeth not his mouth.

^8yHe was taken from prison and from judgment:

And ^bwho shall declare his generation?

For ^che was cut off out of ^dthe land of the living:

For the transgression of my people was he stricken.

⁹And he made his grave with the wicked,

And ^ewith the rich in his death;

^fBecause ^ghe had done no violence,

Neither was any deceit in his mouth.

¹⁰Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath ^hput him to grief:

ⁱWhen thou shalt make his soul ^kan offering for sin,

^lHe shall see his seed, ^mhe shall prolong his days,

And ⁿthe pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

¹¹He shall see of the travail of his soul, and ^oshall be satisfied:

^pBy his knowledge shall ^qmy righteous ^rservant ^sjustify ^tmany;

^uFor he shall bear their iniquities.

^12vTherefore will I divide him a portion with the great,

And ^whe shall divide the spoil with the strong;

Because he hath ^xpoured out his soul unto death:

^yAnd he was numbered with the transgressors;

And he bare the sin of many,

And ^zmade intercession for the transgressors.
