Bible, King James Version
Isaiah
Isa.53
[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.
