Isaiah 53:2-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 He grew up before Him like a young plant(A)
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.(B)
3 He was despised and rejected by men,(C)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.(D)
He was like someone people turned away from;[a]
He was despised, and we didn’t value Him.
4 Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses,
and He carried our pains;(E)
but we in turn regarded Him stricken,
struck down by God,(F) and afflicted.
5 But He was pierced because of our transgressions,(G)
crushed because of our iniquities;(H)
punishment(I) for our peace was on Him,
and we are healed by His wounds.(J)
6 We all went astray like sheep;(K)
we all have turned to our own way;
and the Lord has punished Him
for[b] the iniquity(L) of us all.(M)
7 He 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.(N)
8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment;
and who considered His fate?[c]
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
He was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
9 They[d] made His grave with the wicked
and with a rich man at His death,(O)
although He had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully.(P)
