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 # 53:1 Is 30:30; 40:10; 48:14; 51:9; 52:10; Lk 1:51; Ac 13:17 been revealed? # 53:1 Jn 12:38; Rm 10:16
2He grew up before him like a young plant # 53:2 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. # 53:2 Is 52:14
3He was despised and rejected by men, # 53:3 Ps 22:6; Is 49:7; Lk 18:31–33
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was. # 53:3 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; # 53:4 Mt 8:17; 1Pt 2:21
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
struck down by God, # 53:4 Ps 69:26 and afflicted.
5But he was pierced because of our rebellion, # 53:5 Is 53:8; Rm 4:25; 1Co 15:3; Heb 9:28
crushed because of our iniquities; # 53:5 Is 1:4
punishment # 53:5 Jr 2:30; Zph 3:2; Heb 5:8 for our peace was on him,
and we are healed by his wounds. # 53:5–6 1Pt 2:24–25
6We all went astray like sheep; # 53:6 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 # 53:6 Is 13:11 of us all. # 53:6 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. # 53:7 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, # 53:9 Mt 27:57–60
because he had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully. # 53:9 Heb 4:15; 1Pt 2:22; 1Jn 3:5
10Yet the Lord was pleased # 53:10 Is 44:28; 55:11 to crush him severely. # 53:10 Or him; he made him sick.,# 53:10 Dt 29:22; Is 17:11
When # 53:10 Or If you make him a guilt offering, # 53:10 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. # 53:10 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 # 53:11 1Jn 2:1 servant # 53:11 Is 42:1 will justify many, # 53:11 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, # 53:12 Mt 26:42; Jn 10:14–18; Php 2:6–8
and was counted among the rebels; # 53:12 Lk 22:37
yet he bore the sin of many # 53:12 Heb 9:28
and interceded for the rebels. # 53:12 Lk 23:34; Rm 8:34; Heb 7:25
