Isaiah 53
1O Lord, + 53:1 John 12:38; Rom 10:16 who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2We brought a report as of a child before him; he is as a root in a thirsty land: he has no form nor comeliness; and we saw him, but he had no form nor beauty.
3But his form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; he was a man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for his face is turned from us: he was dishonoured, and not esteemed.
4+ 53:4 Matt 8:17 He bears our sins, and is pained for us: yet we accounted him to be in trouble, and in suffering, and in affliction.
5But he was wounded on account of our sins, and was + 53:5 Or, made sick. bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his + 53:5 Gr. bruise. 1 Pet. 2:22. bruises we were healed.
6All we as sheep have gone astray; every one has gone astray in his way; and the Lord gave him up for our sins.
7And he, because of his affliction, opens not his mouth: + 53:7 Acts 8:32,33 he was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.
8In his humiliation his judgement was taken away: who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth: because of the iniquities of my people he was led to death.
9And I will give the wicked for his burial, and the rich for his death; + 53:9 1 Pe 2:22 for he practised no iniquity, nor craft with his mouth.
10The Lord also is pleased to purge him from his stroke. If you⌃ can give an offering for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed:
11the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of his soul, to show him light, and to form him with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and he shall bear their sins.
12Therefore he shall inherit many, and he shall divide the spoils of the mighty; because his soul was delivered to death: and + 53:12 Mark 15:28 he was numbered amongst the transgressors; and he bore the sins of many, and was delivered because of their iniquities.
