For He grew
up before Him
like a tender
shoot,
and like a root
out of parched ground;
He has no stately
form or majesty that we should look upon Him,
nor appearance
that we
should be attracted
to Him.
He was despised
and forsaken of men,
a man of sorrows
& acquainted with grief;
& like one
from whom men hide their face,
He was despised,
and we did not
esteem Him.
Surely our griefs
He Himself bore,
and our sorrows
He carried;
Yet we ourselves
esteemed Him stricken,
smitten of God,
and afflicted.
But He was pierced
through for our transgressions,
He was crushed
for our iniquities;
the chastening
for our
well-being fell
upon Him,
and by His scourging
we are healed.
|
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 fall on Him.
He was oppressed
& He was afflicted,
yet He did not
open His mouth;
Like a lamb
that is led to slaughter,
and like a sheep
that is silent
before its shearers,
so He did not
open His mouth.
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 living
For the transgression
of my people,
to whom the
stroke was due?
His grave was
assigned
with wicked
men,
yet He was with
a rich man in His death,
because He had
done no violence,
nor was there
any deceit in His mouth.
|
But the
LORD was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to grief;
If He would
render
Himself as a
guilt offering,
He will see
His offspring,
He will prolong
His days,
and the good
pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
As a result
of the anguish of His soul,
He will see
it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge
the Righteous One,
My Servant,
will justify
the many,
as He will bear
their iniquities.
Therefore, I
will allot Him
a portion with
the great,
And He will
divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured
out Himself to death,
and was numbered
with the transgressors;
yet He Himself
bore the sin of many,
and interceded
for the transgressors
