^aWho has believed confidently trusted in, relied on, and adhered to our message of salvation? Is 52:7, 10And to whom if not us has the arm and infinite power of the LORD been revealed? John 12:38-41; Rom 10:162 For He the Servant of God grew up before Him like a ^atender shoot (plant) ,And like a root out of dry ground;He has ^bno stately form or majestic splendorThat we would look at Him,Nor handsome appearance that we would ¹be attracted to Him.3 He was ^adespised and rejected by men,A Man of sorrows and pain and ^bacquainted with grief;And like One from whom men hide their facesHe was ^cdespised, and we did not appreciate His worth or ^desteem Him.

4 But in fact He has ^aborne our griefs,And He has carried our sorrows and pains;Yet we ignorantly assumed that He was stricken,Struck down by ^bGod and degraded and humiliated by Him. Matt 8:175 But He was wounded for ^aour transgressions,He was crushed for ^bour wickedness our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing;The ^cpunishment required for our well-being fell on Him,And by His ^dstripes (wounds) we are healed.6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,We have turned, each one, to his own way;But the LORD has caused the wickedness of us all our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoingTo fall on Him instead of us. 1+@Pet 2:24, 25

7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,Yet He did not ^aopen His mouth to complain or defend Himself;^bLike a lamb that is led to the slaughter,And like a sheep that is silent before her shearers,So He did not open His mouth.8 ¹After oppression and judgment He was taken away;And ²as for His generation His contemporaries, who among them concerned himself with the factThat He was cut off from the land of the living by His death^aFor the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke of death was due?9 His grave was assigned with the wicked,But He was with a ^arich man in His death,^bBecause He had ^cdone no violence,Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. Matt 27:57-60; 1+@Pet 2:22, 23

10 Yet the LORD was ¹willingTo ^acrush Him, ²^bcausing Him to suffer;If ³He would give Himself as a guilt ^coffering an atonement for sin,He shall see ^dHis spiritual offspring,He shall prolong His days,And the ^ewill (good pleasure) of the LORD shall succeed and prosper in His hand.11 As a result of the ¹anguish of His soul,He shall ^asee it and be satisfied;By His ^bknowledge of what He has accomplished the Righteous One,My Servant, shall justify the many making them righteous—upright before God, in right standing with Him,For He shall ^cbear the responsibility for their sins.12 Therefore, I will divide and give Him a ^aportion with the great kings and rulers,And He shall divide the spoils with the mighty,Because He willingly poured out His ^blife to death,And was ^ccounted among the transgressors;Yet He Himself ^dbore and took away the sin of many,And interceded with the Father for the transgressors. Luke 22:37
