LEB - Isaiah - 53

53:1  Who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?

53:2  For he went up like a shoot before him, and like a root from dry ground. He had no form and no majesty that we should see him, and no appearance that we should take pleasure in him.

53:3  He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering, and acquainted with sickness, and like ⌞one from whom others hide their faces⌟, he was despised, and we did not hold him in high regard.

53:4  However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses, and he carried our pain, yet we ourselves assumed him stricken, struck down by God and afflicted.

53:5  But he was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon him, and by his wounds ⌞we were healed⌟.

53:6  All of us have wandered about like sheep; we each have turned to his own way; and Yahweh let fall on him the iniquity of us all.

53:7  He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers, so he did not open his mouth.

53:8  He was taken by restraint of justice, and who concerned himself with his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living; he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.

53:9  He made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.

53:10  Yet Yahweh was pleased to crush him; he ⌞made him sick⌟. If she places his life a guilt offering, he will see offspring. He will prolong days, and the will of Yahweh will succeed in his hand.

53:11  From the trouble of his life he will see; he will be satisfied. In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous, and he is the one who will bear their iniquities.

53:12  Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many, and with the strong ones he will divide bounty, ⌞because⌟ he poured his life out to death and was counted with the transgressors; and he was the one who bore the sin of many and will intercede for the transgressors.
