⁶ For to us a child is born,^(A)
    to us a son is given,^(B)
    and the government^(C) will be on his shoulders.^(D)
And he will be called
    Wonderful Counselor,^(E) Mighty God,^(F)
    Everlasting^(G) Father,^(H) Prince of Peace.^(I)

⁶ On this mountain^(A) the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast^(B) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.^(C)
7 On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud^(D) that enfolds all peoples,^(E)
the sheet that covers all nations;
⁸     he will swallow up death^(F) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears^(G)
    from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace^(H)
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.^(I)

“Surely this is our God;^(K)
    we trusted^(L) in him, and he saved^(M) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice^(N) and be glad in his salvation.”^(O)

¹⁰ The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;^(P)
    but Moab^(Q) will be trampled in their land
    as straw is trampled down in the manure.
¹¹ They will stretch out their hands in it,
    as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down^(R) their pride^(S)
    despite the cleverness^[a] of their hands.
¹² He will bring down your high fortified walls^(T)
    and lay them low;^(U)
he will bring them down to the ground,
    to the very dust.

⁶ I offered my back to those who beat^(A) me,
    my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;^(B)
I did not hide my face
    from mocking and spitting.^(C)

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

⁴ Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(A)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(B)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(C)
5 But he was pierced^(D) for our transgressions,^(E)
    he was crushed^(F) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(G) that brought us peace^(H) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(I) we are healed.^(J)

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(K)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(L)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(M) of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed^(A) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(B)
he was led like a lamb^(C) to the slaughter,^(D)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.

⁹ He was assigned a grave with the wicked,^(A)
    and with the rich^(B) in his death,
though he had done no violence,^(C)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.^(D)
