Isaiah 53

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Suffering Servant

11WhoH4310 has believedH539 our messageH8052? And to whomH4310 has the armH2220 of the LordH3068 been revealedH1540?2For He grewH5927 up beforeH6440 Him like a 2tenderH3126 3shootH3126, And like a rootH8328 out of parchedH6723 groundH776; He has 4noH3808 stately formH8389 or majestyH1926 That we should lookH7200 upon Him, NorH3808 appearanceH4758 that we should 5be attractedH2530 to Him.3He was 6despisedH959 and forsakenH2310 of menH376, A manH376 of 7sorrowsH4341 and 8acquaintedH3045 with 9griefH2483; And like one from whom men hideH4564 their faceH6440 He was 10despisedH959, and we did not 11esteemH2803 Him.

4SurelyH403 our 12griefsH2483 He HimselfH1931 13boreH5375, And our 14sorrowsH4341 He carriedH5445; Yet we ourselvesH587 esteemedH2803 Him strickenH5060, 15SmittenH5221 of 16GodH430, and afflictedH6031.5But He was 17piercedH2490 throughH2490 for 18our transgressionsH6588, He was crushedH1792 for 19our iniquitiesH5771; The 20chasteningH4148 for our 21well-beingH7965 fell upon Him, And by 22His scourgingH2250 we are healedH7495.6AllH3605 of us like sheepH6629 have goneH8582 astrayH8582, EachH376 of us has turnedH6437 to his own wayH1870; But the LordH3068 has caused the iniquityH5771 of us allH3605 To 23fallH6293 on Him.

7He was oppressedH5065 and He was afflictedH6031, Yet He did not 24openH6605 His mouthH6310; 25Like a lambH7716 that is ledH2986 to slaughterH2874, And like a sheepH7353 that is silentH481 beforeH6440 its shearersH1494, So He did not openH6605 His mouthH6310.8By oppressionH6115 and judgmentH4941 He was takenH3947 away; And as for His generationH1755, whoH4310 consideredH7878 That He was cutH1504 offH1504 out of the landH776 of the 26livingH2416 27For the transgressionH6588 of my peopleH5971, to whom the strokeH5061 was due?9His graveH6913 was assignedH5414 with wickedH7563 menH7563, Yet He was with a 28richH6223 manH6223 in His deathH4194, 29BecauseH5921 He had 30doneH6213 noH3808 violenceH2555, NorH3808 was there any deceitH4820 in His mouthH6310.

10But the LordH3068 was pleasedH2654 To 31crushH1792 Him, 3233puttingH2470 Him to griefH2470; IfH518 34He would renderH7760 HimselfH5315 as a guiltH817 35offeringH817, He will seeH7200 36His 37offspringH2233, He will prolongH748 His daysH3117, And the 38goodH2656 39pleasureH2656 of the LordH3068 will prosperH6743 in His handH3027.11As a resultH4480 of the 40anguishH5999 of His soulH5315, He will 41seeH7200 42it and be satisfiedH7646; By His 43knowledgeH1847 the RighteousH6662 OneH6662, My ServantH5650, will justifyH6663 the manyH7227, As He will 44bearH5445 their iniquitiesH5771.12ThereforeH3651, I will allotH2505 Him a 45portionH2505 with the greatH7227, And He will divideH2505 the bootyH7998 with the strongH6099; BecauseH8478H834 He pouredH6168 out 4647HimselfH5315 to deathH4194, And was 48numberedH4487 with the transgressorsH6586; Yet He HimselfH1931 49boreH5375 the sinH2399 of manyH7227, And intercededH6293 for the transgressorsH6586.
