1Who hath
believed our report?
|
And to whom is the arm of the LORD
revealed?
|
2For He
shall grow up before Him as a tender
plant,
|
and as a root out of a dry ground.
|
He hath no form nor comeliness,
|
and when we shall see Him, there
is no beauty that we should desire
Him.
|
3He is
despised and rejected of men,
|
a Man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief.
|
And we hid as it were our faces from
Him;
|
He was despised, and we esteemed
Him not.
|
4Surely He
hath borne our griefs and carried our
sorrows;
|
yet we did esteem Him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
|
5But He
was wounded for our transgressions;
|
He was bruised for our iniquities.
|
The chastisement of our peace was upon
Him,
|
and with His stripes we are
healed.
|
6All we
like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
|
and the LORD hath laid on Him the
iniquity of us all.
|
7He was
oppressed, and He was afflicted,
|
yet He opened not his mouth;
|
He is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter;
|
and as a sheep before her shearers
is dumb,
so He openeth not His mouth.
|
8He was
taken from prison and from judgment;
|
and who shall declare His
generation?
|
For He was cut off out of the land of
the living;
|
for the transgression of My people
was He stricken.
|
9And He
made His grave with the wicked,
|
and with the rich in His death,
|
because He had done no violence,
|
neither was any deceit in His
mouth.
|
10Yet it
pleased the LORD to bruise Him;
|
He hath put Him to grief.
|
When thou shalt make His soul an
offering for sin,
He shall see His seed,
|
He shall prolong His days,
and the pleasure of the LORD shall
prosper in His hand.
|
11He shall
see of the travail of His soul,
|
and shall be satisfied.
|
By His knowledge shall My righteous
Servant justify many,
|
for He shall bear their
iniquities.
|
12Therefore
will I divide Him a portion with the
great,
and He shall divide the spoil with the
strong,
|
because He hath poured out His
soul unto death.
|
And He was numbered with the
transgressors;
|
and He bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the
transgressors.
