Isaiah 53
53
1Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) revealed?
2For he shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.
3He 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.
4Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and afflicted.
5But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the punishment of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7He 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 silent, so he opens not his mouth.
8He 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.
9And 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.
10Yet it pleased the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to bruise him; he has put [him] to grief: when youi shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall prosper in his hand.
11He 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.
12Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bares the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53
53
1Who has believed what we have heard?#53:1 Or believed our report
And to whom has the arm of the Lord#Is 30:30; 40:10; 48:14; 51:9; 52:10; Lk 1:51; Ac 13:17 been revealed?#Jn 12:38; Rm 10:16
2He grew up before him like a young plant#Is 11:1
and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at him,
no appearance that we should desire him.#Is 52:14
3He was despised and rejected by men,#Ps 22:6; Is 49:7; Lk 18:31–33
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.#Mk 8:31; Jn 1:10–11; Heb 4:15
He was like someone people turned away from;#53:3 Lit And like a hiding of faces from him
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.
4Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
and he carried our pains;#Mt 8:17; 1Pt 2:21
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
struck down by God,#Ps 69:26 and afflicted.
5But he was pierced because of our rebellion,#Is 53:8; Rm 4:25; 1Co 15:3; Heb 9:28
crushed because of our iniquities;#Is 1:4
punishment#Jr 2:30; Zph 3:2; Heb 5:8 for our peace was on him,
and we are healed by his wounds.#1Pt 2:24–25
6We all went astray like sheep;#Mt 18:12
we all have turned to our own way;
and the Lord has punished him
for#53:6 Or has placed on him; lit with the iniquity#Is 13:11 of us all.#2Co 5:21; Col 2:14
7He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter
and like a sheep silent before her shearers,
he did not open his mouth.#Jr 11:19; Mt 26:63; 27:12–14; Lk 23:9; Jn 19:9; Ac 8:32–33; 1Pt 2:23
8He was taken away because of oppression and judgment,
and who considered his fate?#53:8 Or and as for his generation, who considered him?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
he was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
9He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
but he was with a rich man at his death,#Mt 27:57–60
because he had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully.#Heb 4:15; 1Pt 2:22; 1Jn 3:5
10Yet the Lord was pleased#Is 44:28; 55:11 to crush him severely.#53:10 Or him; he made him sick.#Dt 29:22; Is 17:11
When#53:10 Or If you make him a guilt offering,#Lv 5:1–19
he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,
and by his hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.#Is 46:10
11After his anguish,
he will see light#53:11 DSS, LXX; MT omits light and be satisfied.
By his knowledge,
my righteous#1Jn 2:1 servant#Is 42:1 will justify many,#Ac 13:39; Rm 5:18–19
and he will carry their iniquities.
12Therefore I will give him#53:12 Or him with the many as a portion,
and he will receive#53:12 Or receive with the mighty as spoil,
because he willingly submitted to death,#Mt 26:42; Jn 10:14–18; Php 2:6–8
and was counted among the rebels;#Lk 22:37
yet he bore the sin of many#Heb 9:28
and interceded for the rebels.#Lk 23:34; Rm 8:34; Heb 7:25
