“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
    and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
³³ In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
    Who can speak of his descendants?
    For his life was taken from the earth.”^[a](A)

53 Who has believed our message^(J)
    and to whom has the arm^(K) of the Lord been revealed?^(L)
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,^(M)
    and like a root^(N) out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance^(O) that we should desire him.
³ He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering,^(P) and familiar with pain.^(Q)
Like one from whom people hide^(R) their faces
    he was despised,^(S) and we held him in low esteem.

⁴ Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(T)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(U)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(V)
5 But he was pierced^(W) for our transgressions,^(X)
    he was crushed^(Y) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(Z) that brought us peace^(AA) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(AB) we are healed.^(AC)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(AD)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(AE)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(AF) of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed^(AG) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(AH)
he was led like a lamb^(AI) to the slaughter,^(AJ)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
⁸ By oppression^[d] and judgment^(AK) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(AL)
    for the transgression^(AM) of my people he was punished.^[e]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,^(AN)
    and with the rich^(AO) in his death,
though he had done no violence,^(AP)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.^(AQ)

¹⁰ Yet it was the Lord’s will^(AR) to crush^(AS) him and cause him to suffer,^(AT)
    and though the Lord makes^[f] his life an offering for sin,^(AU)
he will see his offspring^(AV) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(AW) in his hand.
¹¹ After he has suffered,^(AX)
    he will see the light^(AY) of life^[g] and be satisfied^[h];
by his knowledge^[i] my righteous servant^(AZ) will justify^(BA) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.^(BB)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,^[j](BC)
    and he will divide the spoils^(BD) with the strong,^[k]
because he poured out his life unto death,^(BE)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.^(BF)
For he bore^(BG) the sin of many,^(BH)
    and made intercession^(BI) for the transgressors.
