1 W ho hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

2 F or he shall grow up before him as a tender sapling, and as a root out of dry ground: he hath no form nor lordliness, and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 H e is despised and left alone of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and like one from whom hide their faces;—despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 S urely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; and we, we did regard him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 B ut 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.

6 A ll we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all.

7 H e was oppressed, and he was afflicted, but he opened not his mouth; he was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and was as a sheep dumb before her shearers, and he opened not his mouth.

8 H e was taken from oppression 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.

9 A nd appointed his grave with the wicked, but he was with the rich in his death, because he had done no violence, neither was there guile in his mouth.

10 Y et it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath subjected to suffering. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see a seed, he shall prolong days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.

11 H e shall see of the travail of his soul, shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant instruct many in righteousness; and he shall bear their iniquities.

12 T herefore will I assign 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 was reckoned with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
