Isaiah 53:1–8

53Who ^ahas believed our report?

And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

²For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,

And as a root out of dry ground.

He has no ¹form or ²comeliness;

And when we see Him,

There is no ³beauty that we should desire Him.

^3bHe is despised and ⁴rejected by men,

A Man of ⁵sorrows and ^cacquainted with ⁶grief.

And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;

He was despised, and ^dwe did not esteem Him.

⁴Surely ^eHe has borne our ⁷griefs

And carried our ⁸sorrows;

Yet we ⁹esteemed Him stricken,

¹Smitten by God, and afflicted.

⁵But He was ^fwounded ²for our transgressions,

He was ³bruised for our iniquities;

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

And by His ^gstripes ⁴we are healed.

⁶All we like sheep have gone astray;

We have turned, every one, to his own way;

And the Lord ⁵has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

⁷He was oppressed and He was afflicted,

Yet ^hHe opened not His mouth;

ⁱHe was led as a lamb to the slaughter,

And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,

So He opened not His mouth.

⁸He was ^jtaken from ⁶prison and from judgment,

And who will declare His generation?

For ^kHe was cut off from the land of the living;

For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
