To whom has Yahweh’s arm been revealed?

and as a root out of dry ground.

He has no good looks or majesty.

When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

and rejected by men,

a man of suffering

and acquainted with disease.

He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;

and we didn’t respect him.

and carried our suffering;

yet we considered him plagued,

struck by God, and afflicted.

He was crushed for our iniquities.

The punishment that brought our peace was on him;

and by his wounds we are healed.

Everyone has turned to his own way;

and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth.

As a lamb that is led to the slaughter,

and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent,

so he didn’t open his mouth.

As for his generation,

who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living

and stricken for the disobedience of my people?

and with a rich man in his death,

although he had done no violence,

nor was any deceit in his mouth.

He has caused him to suffer.

When you make his soul an offering for sin,

he will see his offspring.

He will prolong his days

and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

he will see the light53:11 So read the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint. Masoretic Text omits “the light”. and be satisfied.

My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself;

and he will bear their iniquities.

He will divide the plunder with the strong;

because he poured out his soul to death

and was counted with the transgressors;

yet he bore the sins of many

and made intercession for the transgressors.
