Isa 53
1
O Lord, Joh 12:38; Ro 10:16 who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2
We brought a report as of a child before him; he is as a root in a thirsty land: he
has no form nor beauty; and we saw him, but he had no form nor beauty.
3
But his form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; he was a man
in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for his face is turned
from us: he was dishonoured, and not esteemed.
4
Mt 8:17 He bears our sins, and is pained for us: yet we accounted him to be in trouble, and
in suffering, and in affliction.
5
But he was wounded on account of our sins, and was Or, made sick bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our
peace was upon him; and
by his Gr. bruise; 1 Pe 2:24 bruises we were healed.
6
All we as sheep have gone astray; every one has gone astray in his way; and the Lord
gave him up for our sins.
7
And he, because of his affliction, opens not his mouth: Gr. Ac 8:32, 33 he was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb
before the shearer is dumb,
so he opens not his mouth.
8
In his humiliation his judgement was taken away: who shall declare his generation?
for his life is taken away from the earth: because of the iniquities of my people
he was led to death.
9
And I will give the wicked for his burial, and the rich for his death; 1 Pe 2:22 for he practised no iniquity, nor craft with
his mouth.
10
The Lord also is pleased to purge him from his stroke. If you can give an offering
for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed:
11
the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of his soul, to shew him light,
and to form him with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well;
and he shall bear their sins.
12
Therefore he shall inherit many, and he shall divide the spoils of the mighty; because
his soul was delivered to death: and Mk 15:28 he was numbered among the transgressors; and he bore the sins of many, and was
delivered
because of their iniquities.
