King James VersionIsaiah53

Isaiah

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.
