³ “The former things ^(E)I declared of old;
    they went out from my mouth, and I announced them;
    then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
⁴ Because I know that ^(F)you are obstinate,
    and your neck is an iron sinew
    and your forehead brass,
^5 (G)I declared them to you from of old,
    before they came to pass I announced them to you,
lest you should say, ^(H)‘My idol did them,
    my carved image and my metal image commanded them.’

⁶ “You have heard; now see all this;
    and will you not declare it?
From this time forth ^(I)I announce to you new things,
    hidden things that you have not known.
⁷ They are created now, not long ago;
    before today you have never heard of them,
    lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
⁸ You have never heard, you have never known,
    from of old your ear has not been opened.
For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously,
    and that ^(J)from before birth you were called a rebel.

^4 (L)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    ^(M)smitten by God, and afflicted.
^5 (N)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    ^(O)and with his wounds we are healed.
^6 (P)All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^(Q)and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
    ^(R)yet he opened not his mouth;
^(S)like a ^(T)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
    so he opened not his mouth.
⁸ By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
    and as for his generation, ^(U)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
    stricken for the transgression of my people?
⁹ And they made his grave with the wicked
    ^(V)and with a rich man in his death,
although^{[i] (W)}he had done no violence,
    and there was no deceit in his mouth.

¹⁰ Yet ^(X)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
    he has put him to grief;^[j]
(Y)when his soul makes^[k] an offering for guilt,
    he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^(Z)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
¹¹ Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see^[l] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall ^(AA)the righteous one, my servant,
    ^(AB)make many to be accounted righteous,
    ^(AC)and he shall bear their iniquities.
^12 (AD)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,^{[m]
    (AE)}and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,^[n]
because he poured out his soul to death
    and was numbered with the transgressors;
^(AF)yet he bore the sin of many,
    and makes intercession for the transgressors.
