Who hath believed our report
? and to whom is the arm
of the LORD
revealed
?
For he shall grow up before
him as a tender plant
, and as a root
out of a dry
ground
: he hath no form
nor comeliness
; and when we shall see
him, there is no beauty
that we should desire
him.
He is despised and rejected
of men
; a man
of sorrows
, and acquainted
with grief
: and we hid as it were
our faces
from him; he was despised
, and we esteemed
him not.
Surely he hath borne
our griefs
, and carried
our sorrows
: yet we did esteem
him stricken
, smitten
of God
, and afflicted
.
But he was wounded for our transgressions
, he was bruised
for our iniquities
: the chastisement
of our peace
was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed
.
All we like sheep have gone astray
; we have turned
every one
to his own way
; and the LORD
hath laid
on him the iniquity
of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted
, yet he opened
not his mouth
: he is brought
as a lamb
to the slaughter
, and as a sheep
before
her shearers
is dumb
, so he openeth
not his mouth
.
He was taken from prison
and from judgment
: and who shall declare
his generation
? for he was cut off
out of the land
of the living
: for the transgression
of my people
was he stricken
.
And he made his grave
with the wicked
, and with the rich
in his death
; because he had done
no violence
, neither was any deceit
in his mouth
.
Yet it pleased the LORD
to bruise
him; he hath put him to grief
: when thou shalt make
his soul
an offering for sin
, he shall see
his seed
, he shall prolong
his days
, and the pleasure
of the LORD
shall prosper
in his hand
.
He shall see of the travail
of his soul
, and shall be satisfied
: by his knowledge
shall my righteous
servant
justify
many
; for he shall bear
their iniquities
.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great
, and he shall divide
the spoil
with the strong
; because he hath poured out
his soul
unto death
: and he was numbered
with the transgressors
; and he bare
the sin
of many
, and made intercession
for the transgressors
.
