NASB Bible

Isaiah 53

The Suffering Servant

1

 aWho has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

2

For He grew up before Him like a  atender  1shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has  bno stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should  2be attracted to Him.

3

He was  adespised and forsaken of men, A man of  1sorrows and  bacquainted with  2grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was  cdespised, and we did not  desteem Him.

4

Surely our  1griefs He Himself  abore, And our  2sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,  3Smitten of  bGod, and afflicted.

5

But He was  1pierced through for  aour transgressions, He was crushed for  bour iniquities; The  cchastening for our  2well-being fell upon Him, And by  dHis scourging we are healed.

6

All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To  1fall on Him.

7

He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not  aopen His mouth;  bLike a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth.

8

By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the  1living  aFor the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?

9

His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a  arich man in His death,  bBecause He had  cdone no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

10

But the LORD was pleased To  acrush Him,  1 bputting Him to grief; If  2He would render Himself as a guilt  coffering, He will see  dHis  3offspring, He will prolong His days, And the  4good  epleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.

11

As a result of the  1anguish of His soul, He will  asee  2it and be satisfied; By His  bknowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will  cbear their iniquities.

12

Therefore, I will allot Him a  aportion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out  1 bHimself to death, And was  cnumbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself  dbore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.
