Isaiah 53
53
1 Who has believed our message,
and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
2For#Or “And” he went#Or “grew” up like a shoot before him,
and like a root from dry ground.
He had no form and no majesty that#Or “and” we should see him,
and no appearance that#Or “and” we should take pleasure in him.
3He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of suffering, and acquainted with#Or “knowledgeable of” sickness,
and like one from whom others hide their faces,#Literally “hiding of face from him” he was despised,
and we did not hold him in high regard.
4However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses,
and he carried our pain,
yet#Or “and” we ourselves assumed him stricken,
struck down by God and afflicted.
5But#Or “And” he was pierced#Or “wounded” because of our transgressions,
crushed because of our iniquities;
the chastisement for#Or “of” our peace#Or “healing” was upon him,
and by his wounds#Hebrew “wound” we were healed.#Literally “it was healed for us”
6All of us have wandered about like sheep;
we each have turned to his own way;
and Yahweh let fall on him
the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet#Or “and” he did not open his mouth;
he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter,
and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers,
so#Or “and” he did not open his mouth.
8He was taken by restraint of justice,
and who concerned himself with his generation?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.
9He made#Or “gave” his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10Yet#Or “And” Yahweh was pleased to crush him;
he made him sick.#Literally “he made sick”
If she#Or “you” places#Or “makes” his life a guilt offering,#Or “compensation”
he will see offspring.
He will prolong days,
and the will of Yahweh will succeed in his hand.
11From the trouble of his life#Or “soul” he will see;#Dead Sea Scrolls add “light”
he will be satisfied.
In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous,#Or “right”
and he is the one who will bear their iniquities.
12Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many,#Or “great”
and with the strong ones he will divide bounty,
because#Literally “Instead of that” he poured his life out to death
and was counted with the transgressors;
and#Or “yet” he was the one who bore the sin of many
and will intercede 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
