ULT ISA Chapter 53

◄ ISA 53 ► ║ ═ ©

53 Who will believe our report,

and to whom will the arm of Yahweh be revealed?

2 And he grew up like a shoot to his face,

and like a root from ground of dryness.

No form was to him, and no splendor,

that we might see him,

and no appearance,

that we should desire him.

3 He was despised and rejected of men,

a man of sorrows and acquainted of grief,

and like a hiding of faces from him,

he was despised, and we did not esteem him.

4 Surely he, he bore our griefs,

and our sorrows, he carried them.

But we, we esteemed him stricken,

struck of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,

crushed for our iniquities.

The discipline of our peace was on him,

and by his wounds it is healed for us.

6 All of us have strayed like sheep;

we have turned, a man to his way,

and Yahweh has made the iniquity of all of us

land on him.

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,

and he did not open his mouth.

He was led like a lamb to the slaughter,

and as a ewe silences itself to the face of its shearers,

so he did not open his mouth.

8 By coercion and by judgment he was taken,

and who will consider his generation?

For he was cut off from the land of the living.

From the transgression of my people, affliction was to him.

9 And one made his grave with the wicked,

but he was with a rich one in his deaths

because he had done no violence

and deceit was not in his mouth.

10 But Yahweh was pleased to crush him; he made him grieve.

When you make his soul a guilt offering,

he will see seed, he will lengthen days,

and the pleasure of Yahweh will prosper in his hand.

11 From the trouble of his soul, he will see, he will have enough.

“By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many,

and he, he will bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will divide for him among the great,

and with the mighty he will divide the spoil,

because he exposed his soul to death,

and he was numbered with transgressors.

And he, he bore the sin of many,

and he intercedes for transgressors.”
