The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 53

Text size

1 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 a 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 ⚑
