1 gCited John 12:38; Rom. 10:16 Who has believed what they heard from us?1Or Who has believed what we have heard?
And to whom hashSee ch. 51:9 the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
ich. 11:1 and like a root out of dry ground;
j[ch. 52:14] he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 kch. 49:7; [Ps. 22:6; Mark 9:12] He was despised and rejected1Or forsaken by men;
a man of sorrows,2Or pains; also verse 4 and acquainted with3Or and knowing grief;4Or sickness; also verse 4
and as one from whom men hide their faces5Or as one who hides his face from us
he was despised, andl[John 1:10, 11] we esteemed him not.
4 m[Matt. 8:17] Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
nPs. 69:26 smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 o[Rom. 4:25] But he was wounded for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
pCited 1 Pet. 2:24 and with his stripes we are healed.
6 qCited 1 Pet. 2:25; [Jer. 50:6, 17] All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
r2 Cor. 5:21; [ver. 10; Col. 2:14] and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
sMatt. 26:63; Mark 14:61; John 19:9; 1 Pet. 2:23 yet he opened not his mouth;
tCited Acts 8:32 like au[Jer. 11:19] lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation,vch. 57:1 who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
wMatt. 27:57, 60 and with a rich man in his death,
althoughxCited 1 Pet. 2:22; [Heb. 4:15; 1 John 3:5] he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yety[ver. 4] it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;1Or he has made him sick
z[ver. 6] when his soul makes2Or when you make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
a[ch. 44:28] the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shallb[1 John 2:1] the righteous one, my servant,
cActs 13:39; Rom. 5:18, 19 make many to be accounted righteous,
d[ver. 5] and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 ech. 52:13; [Phil. 2:9] Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,1Or with the great
f[Col. 2:15] and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,2Or with the numerous
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
gver. 6, 8, 10 yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
