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: 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 and 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. |
