531 Who has believed our message ? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed ? 2 For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot , And like a root out of parched ground ; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. 3 He was despised and forsaken of men , A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief ; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised , and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore , And our sorrows He carried ; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken , Smitten of God , and afflicted . 5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions , He was crushed for our iniquities ; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His 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 all To fall on Him. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted , Yet He did not open His mouth ; Like 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 considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people , to whom the stroke was due? 9 His grave was assigned with wicked men , Yet He was with a rich man in His death , Because He had done no violence , Nor was there any deceit in His mouth .
10 But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief ; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering , He will see His offspring , He will prolong His days , And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand . 11 As a result of the anguish of His soul , He will see it and be satisfied ; By His knowledge the Righteous One , My Servant , will justify the many , As He will bear their iniquities . 12 Therefore , I will allot Him a portion with the great , And He will divide the booty with the strong ; Because e He poured out Himself to death , And was numbered with the transgressors ; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many , And interceded for the transgressors .
