Who hath believed
our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord
revealed?
02 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.
03 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.
04 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried
our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
05 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.
06 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.
07 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.

08 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.
09 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.
