"Who hath believed our report
and to whom is the arm of THE LORD revealed ?
2
For HE shall grow up before
HIM as a tender plant, and as
a root out of dry ground : HE
hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see HIM,
there is no beauty that we
should desire HIM.
3
HE 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.
4
Surely HE hath borne our
griefs and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem
HIM stricken, smitten of GOD,
and afflicted.
5
But 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
All 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.
7
HE 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.
8
HE 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.
9
And 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.
10
Yet 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.
11
HE 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.
12
Therefore 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 bare the sin of many, and
made intercession for the
transgressors. "
