53 Who has believed our report?
    And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For he grew up before Him as a tender plant
    and as a root out of a dry ground.
He has no form or majesty that we should look upon him
    nor appearance that we should desire him.
He was 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 did not esteem him.

Surely he has borne our grief
    and carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed him stricken,
    smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
    he was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement of our peace was upon him,
    and by his stripes we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray;
    each of us has turned to his own way,
but the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.
