Who has believed what we have heard?E

And to whom has the arm of the Lords been revealed?t

2 He grew up before him like a young plantu

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.v

3 He was despised and rejected by men,w

a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.x

He was like someone people turned away from;F

he was despised, and we didn’t value him.

4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,

and he carried our pains;y

but we in turn regarded him stricken,

struck down by God,z and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion,aa

crushed because of our iniquities;ab

punishmentac for our peace was on him,

and we are healed by his wounds.ad

6 We all went astray like sheep;ae

we all have turned to our own way;

and the Lord has punished him

forG the iniquityaf of us all.ag

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.ah

8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment,

and who considered his fate?H

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,a

because he had done no violence

and had not spoken deceitfully.b
