The Suffering Servant

^aWho has believed our report?And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?2 For He grew up before Him like a ^atender ¹shoot,And like a root out of dry ground;He has ^bno stately form or majestyThat we would look at Him,Nor an appearance that we would take pleasure in Him.3 He was ^adespised and abandoned by men,A man of ¹great pain and ^bfamiliar with sickness;And like one from whom people hide their faces,He was ^cdespised, and we had no ^dregard for Him.

4 However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself ^abore,And our pains that He carried;Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,Struck down by ^bGod, and humiliated.5 But He was ¹pierced for ^aour offenses,He was crushed for ^bour wrongdoings;The ^cpunishment for our ²well-being was laid upon Him,And by ^dHis wounds we are healed.6 All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,Each of us has turned to his own way;But the LORD has caused the wrongdoing of us allTo ¹fall on Him.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,Yet He did not ^aopen His mouth;^bLike a lamb that is led to slaughter,And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,So He did not open His mouth.8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;And as for His generation, who consideredThat He was cut off from the land of the ¹living^aFor the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?9 And His grave was assigned with wicked men,Yet He was with a ^arich man in His death,^bBecause He had ^cdone no violence,Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

10 But the LORD desiredTo ^acrush Him, ¹^bcausing Him grief;If He renders ²Himself as a guilt ^coffering,He will see ^dHis ³offspring,He will prolong His days,And the ⁴good ^epleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.11 As a result of the ¹anguish of His soul,He will ²^asee it and be satisfied;By His ^bknowledge the Righteous One,My Servant, will justify the many,For He will ^cbear their wrongdoings.12 Therefore, I will allot Him a ^aportion with the great,And He will divide the plunder with the strong,Because He poured out His ¹^blife unto death,And was ^ccounted with wrongdoers;Yet He Himself ^dbore the sin of many,And interceded for the wrongdoers.

The Suffering Servant

^aWho has believed our message?And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?2 For He grew up before Him like a ^atender ¹shoot,And like a root out of parched ground;He has ^bno stately form or majestyThat we should look upon Him,Nor appearance that we should ²be attracted to Him.3 He was ^adespised and forsaken of men,A man of ¹sorrows and ^bacquainted with ²grief;And like one from whom men hide their faceHe was ^cdespised, and we did not ^desteem Him.

4 Surely our ¹griefs He Himself ^abore,And our ²sorrows He carried;Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,³Smitten of ^bGod, and afflicted.5 But He was ¹pierced through for ^aour transgressions,He was crushed for ^bour iniquities;The ^cchastening for our ²well-being fell upon Him,And by ^dHis scourging we are healed.6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,Each of us has turned to his own way;But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us allTo ¹fall on Him.

7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,Yet He did not ^aopen His mouth;^bLike a lamb that is led to slaughter,And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,So He did not open His mouth.8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;And as for His generation, who consideredThat He was cut off out of the land of the ¹living^aFor the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?9 His grave was assigned with wicked men,Yet He was with a ^arich man in His death,^bBecause He had ^cdone no violence,Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

10 But the LORD was pleasedTo ^acrush Him, ¹^bputting Him to grief;If ²He would render Himself as a guilt ^coffering,He will see ^dHis ³offspring,He will prolong His days,And the ⁴good ^epleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.11 As a result of the ¹anguish of His soul,He will ^asee ²it and be satisfied;By His ^bknowledge the Righteous One,My Servant, will justify the many,As He will ^cbear their iniquities.12 Therefore, I will allot Him a ^aportion with the great,And He will divide the booty with the strong;Because He poured out ¹^bHimself to death,And was ^cnumbered with the transgressors;Yet He Himself ^dbore the sin of many,And interceded for the transgressors.
