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,^(K)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(L)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(M)
5 But he was pierced^(N) for our transgressions,^(O)
    he was crushed^(P) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(Q) that brought us peace^(R) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(S) we are healed.^(T)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(U)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(V)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(W) of us all.

¹⁰ Yet it was the Lord’s will^(A) to crush^(B) him and cause him to suffer,^(C)
    and though the Lord makes^[a] his life an offering for sin,^(D)
he will see his offspring^(E) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(F) in his hand.
¹¹ After he has suffered,^(G)
    he will see the light^(H) of life^[b] and be satisfied^[c];
by his knowledge^[d] my righteous servant^(I) will justify^(J) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.^(K)
