He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions
13
Behold, q My Servant shall deal prudently;
r He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.
14
Just as many were astonished at you,
So His s visage was marred more than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men;
15
t So shall He sprinkle many nations.
Kings shall shut their mouths at Him;
For u what had not been told them they shall see,
And what they had not heard they shall consider.
1
Who a has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2
For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3
b He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and c acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and d we did not esteem Him.
4
Surely e He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5
But He was f wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His g stripes we are healed.
6
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7
He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet h He opened not His mouth;
i He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8
He was j taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For k He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
9
l And they made His grave with the wicked -
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any m deceit in His mouth.
10
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul n 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 the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge o My righteous p Servant shall q justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
12
r Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
s And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He t poured out His soul unto death,
And He was u numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And v made intercession for the transgressors.
