The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
53: 1Who has believed our message? and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed? 53:2For
he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor
comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 53:3He was
despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from
whom men hide their face he was despised; and we didn't respect him. 53:4Surely he has borne our
infirmities, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck of God, and afflicted.
53:5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement
of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed. 53:6All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned everyone to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 53:7He
was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn't open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the
slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he didn't open his mouth. 53:8By
oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them
considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the disobedience of my people to
whom the stroke was due? 53:9They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his
death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 53:10Yet it pleased
Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his
hand. 53:11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself
shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. 53:12Therefore will I
divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he
poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of
many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
