53 Who has believed our message,
    and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
² For^[a] he went^[b] up like a shoot before him,
    and like a root from dry ground.
He had no form and no majesty that^[c] we should see him,
    and no appearance that^[d] we should take pleasure in him.
³ He was despised and rejected by men,
    a man of suffering, and acquainted with^[e] sickness,
and like one from whom others hide their faces,^[f] he was despised,
    and we did not hold him in high regard.
⁴ However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses,
    and he carried our pain,
yet^[g] we ourselves assumed him stricken,
    struck down by God and afflicted.
⁵ But^[h] he was pierced^[i] because of our transgressions,
    crushed because of our iniquities;
the chastisement for^[j] our peace^[k] was upon him,
    and by his wounds^[l] we were healed.^[m]
6 All of us have wandered about like sheep;
    we each have turned to his own way;
and Yahweh let fall on him
    the iniquity of us all.
⁷ He was oppressed and afflicted,
    yet^[n] he did not open his mouth;
he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers,
so^[o] he did not open his mouth.
⁸ He was taken by restraint of justice,
    and who concerned himself with his generation?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
    he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.
⁹ He made^[p] his grave with the wicked,
    and with the rich in his death,
although he had done no violence,
    and there was no deceit in his mouth.
¹⁰ Yet^[q] Yahweh was pleased to crush him;
    he made him sick.^[r]
If she^[s] places^[t] his life a guilt offering,^[u]
    he will see offspring.
He will prolong days,
    and the will of Yahweh will succeed in his hand.
¹¹ From the trouble of his life^[v] he will see;^[w]
    he will be satisfied.
In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous,^[x]
    and he is the one who will bear their iniquities.
¹² Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many,^[y]
    and with the strong ones he will divide bounty,
because^[z] he poured his life out to death
    and was counted with the transgressors;
and^[aa] he was the one who bore the sin of many
    and will intercede for the transgressors.
