Isaiah 53

1Who has believed our message,

2For he went up like a shoot before him,[#Or “And”; #Or “grew”]

He had no form and no majesty that we should see him,

3He was despised and rejected by men,

and like one from whom others hide their faces, he was despised,

4However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses,

yet we ourselves assumed him stricken,

5But he was pierced because of our transgressions,[#Or “And”; #Or “wounded”]

the chastisement for our peace was upon him,

6All of us have wandered about like sheep;

and Yahweh let fall on him

7He was oppressed and afflicted,

he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter,

so he did not open his mouth.

8He was taken by restraint of justice,

and who concerned himself with his generation?

For he was cut off from the land of the living;

9He made his grave with the wicked,[#Or “gave”]

although he had done no violence,

10Yet Yahweh was pleased to crush him;[#Or “And”]

If she places his life a guilt offering,

He will prolong days,

11From the trouble of his life he will see;[#Or “soul”; #Dead Sea Scrolls add “light”]

In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous,

12Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many,[#Or “great”]

because he poured his life out to death

and he was the one who bore the sin of many
