Isaiah 53 — The Holy Bible

Isaiah 53, verse 1. O Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? Isaiah 53, verse 2. We proclaimed His presence as a Child, as a Root in a thirsty land. He had no form or glory, and we saw Him; and He had no form or beauty. Isaiah 53, verse 3. But in comparison to all men, His form was lacking in honor. He was a man in suffering and knew how to bear sickness. His face was turned away, and He was dishonored and not esteemed. Isaiah 53, verse 4. He bears our sins and suffers for us, yet we considered Him to be in pain, suffering, and ill-treatment. Isaiah 53, verse 5. But He was wounded because of our lawlessness, and became sick because of our sins. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by His bruise we are healed. Isaiah 53, verse 6. All we like sheep have gone astray. Man has gone astray in his way, and the Lord delivered Him over for our sins. Isaiah 53, verse 7. Although He was ill-treated, He opened not His mouth. He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb is silent before his shearers, so He opens not His mouth. Isaiah 53, verse 8. In His humiliation His judgment was taken away, and who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth, and because of the lawlessness of My people He was led to death. Isaiah 53, verse 9. I will appoint evil men for His burial and rich men for His death, because He committed no lawlessness, nor was deceit found in His mouth. Isaiah 53, verse 10. The Lord wishes to cleanse Him of His wound, and if You give an offering for sin, Your soul shall see a long-lived seed. Isaiah 53, verse 11. The Lord wishes to take away the pain of His soul, to show Him light, to form Him with understanding, and to pronounce righteous the Righteous One who serves many well; and He shall bear their sins. Isaiah 53, verse 12. Therefore He shall inherit many, and will divide the spoil with the strong, because His soul was delivered over to death. He was considered among the lawless, and He bore the sins of many, and was delivered over because of their sins.
