Isaiah 53:3-5

English Standard Version

³^(A)He was despised and rejected^[a] by men,
a man of sorrows^[b] and acquainted with^[c] grief;^[d]
and as one from whom men hide their faces^[e]
he was despised, and ^(B)we esteemed him not.

⁴^(C)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    ^(D)smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵^(E)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    ^(F)and with his wounds we are healed.

English Standard Version

The Lord Redeems Israel

²¹Remember these things, O Jacob,
    and Israel, for you are ^(A)my servant;
I formed you; you are my servant;
    ^(B)O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
²²^(C)I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.

²³^(D)Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;
    shout, O ^(E)depths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
    O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
    ^(F)and will be glorified^[a] in Israel.
