Isaiah 53

Revised Geneva Translation

53 Who will believe our report? And to whom is the Arm of the LORD revealed?

² But He shall grow up before Him as a branch, and as a root out of a dry ground. He has neither form nor beauty. When we shall see Him, there shall be no form that would cause us to desire Him.

³ He is despised and rejected by men. He is a man full of sorrows and acquainted with sickness. We hid, as it were, our faces from Him. He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

⁴ Surely, He has born our sickness and carried our sorrows. Yet, we judged Him as touched and stricken by God, and humbled.

⁵ But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was broken for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes we are healed.

⁶ All of us, like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned, every one, to his own way. And the LORD has laid the iniquity of us all upon Him.

⁷ He was oppressed and He was afflicted. Yet, He did not open His Mouth. He is brought as a sheep to the slaughter. And as a sheep before her shearer is dumb, so He did not open His Mouth.

⁸ He was taken out from prison, and from judgment. And who shall declare His age? For He was cut out of the land of the living. For He was plagued for the transgression of my people.

⁹ And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich, in His death. Though He had done no wickedness. Nor was any deceit in His Mouth.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased the LORD to break Him and make Him endure grief, when He shall make His soul an Offering for sin. He shall see His seed and shall prolong His days. And the will of the LORD shall prosper in His Hand.

¹¹ He shall see the labor of His soul and shall be satisfied. “By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many. For He shall bear their iniquities.

¹² “Therefore, I will give him a portion with the great. And He shall divide the plunder with the strong, because He has poured out His soul until death. And He was counted with the transgressors. And He bore the sin of many, and prayed for the trespassers.”
