² Surely I am more stupid than any man,
And I do not have the understanding of a man.
³ Neither have I learned wisdom,
Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
⁴ Who has ascended into heaven and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has wrapped the waters in ^[b]His garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name or His son’s name?
Surely you know!

⁶ For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will ^[a]rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

⁷ There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

53 Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
² For He grew up before Him like a tender ^[a]shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should ^[b]be attracted to Him.
³ He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of ^[c]sorrows and acquainted with ^[d]grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

⁶ For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

⁷ There is no one who calls on Your name,
Who arouses himself to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us
And have ^[a]delivered us into the power of our iniquities.
