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)

Isaiah 53:2-9
New International Version
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,(A)
and like a root(B) out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance(C) that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering,(D) and familiar with pain.(E)
Like one from whom people hide(F) their faces
he was despised,(G) and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,(H)
yet we considered him punished by God,(I)
stricken by him, and afflicted.(J)
5 But he was pierced(K) for our transgressions,(L)
he was crushed(M) for our iniquities;
the punishment(N) that brought us peace(O) was on him,
and by his wounds(P) we are healed.(Q)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(R)
each of us has turned to our own way;(S)
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity(T) of us all.
7 He was oppressed(U) and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;(V)
he was led like a lamb(W) to the slaughter,(X)
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment(Y) he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(Z)
for the transgression(AA) of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(AB)
and with the rich(AC) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(AD)
nor was any deceit in his mouth.(AE)
