Isaiah:53
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Who shall believe our report ?
and upon whom shall the arm of the LORD be manifested ?
*
With all this he shall grow up before him as a tender sprout and as a root out of a dry ground .
There is no outward appearance in him ,
nor beauty .
We shall see him ,
yet nothing attractive about him that we should desire him .
*
He is despised and rejected among men ;
a man of sorrows ,
and acquainted with weakness ;
and we hid as it were [
our ]
faces from him ;
he was despised ,
and we esteemed him not .
*
Surely he has borne our sicknesses and suffered our pain :
and we considered him stricken ,
smitten of God ,
and cast down .
*
But he [
was ]
wounded for our rebellions ; [
he was ]
bruised for our iniquities ;
the chastisement of our peace [
was ]
upon him ;
and by his stripes healing was provided for us .
*
All we like sheep have become lost ;
we have turned each one to his own way ;
and the LORD transposed in him the iniquity of us all .
*
He was oppressed ,
and he was afflicted ,
yet he did not open his mouth ;
he was brought as a lamb to the slaughter ,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb ,
so he did not open his mouth .
*
He was taken from prison and from judgment ;
and who shall count his generation ?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living ;
for the rebellion of my people he was smitten .
*
And he made his grave with the wicked ,
and his death with the rich ;
even though he had never done evil ,
neither [
was any ]
deceit in his mouth .
*
With all this the LORD chose to bruise him ;
subjecting him to grief .
When he shall have offered his soul for atonement ,
he shall see [
his ]
seed ,
he shall prolong [
his ]
days ,
and the will of the LORD shall be prospered in his hand .
*
He shall see of the travail of his soul [
and ]
shall be satisfied .
And by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many ,
for he shall bear their iniquities .
*
Therefore I will divide him [
a portion ]
with the great ,
and he shall divide the spoil unto the strong because he has poured out his soul unto death ,
and he was numbered with the rebellious ,
having born the sin of many ,
and made intercession for the transgressors .:
