Isaiah 53

Legacy Standard Bible

⁴ Surely our ^[d]griefs He Himself ^[e](H)bore,
And our ^[f]sorrows He ^[g]carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
^[h]Smitten of ^(I)God, and afflicted.
⁵ But He was ^[i]pierced through for ^(J)our transgressions,
He was crushed for ^(K)our iniquities;
The ^(L)chastening for our peace fell upon Him,
And by ^(M)His ^[j]wounds we are healed.
⁶ All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But Yahweh has caused the iniquity of us all
To ^[k]fall on Him.

⁷ He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not ^(N)open His mouth;
^(O)Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
⁸ By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of ^[l]the living,
^(P)That for the transgression of my people, striking was due to Him?
⁹ So His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a ^(Q)rich man in His death,
^(R)Because He had ^(S)done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

¹⁰ But ^[m]Yahweh was pleased
To ^(T)crush Him, ^[n](U)putting Him to grief;
If You would place His soul as a guilt ^(V)offering,
He will see ^(W)His seed,
He will prolong His days,
And the ^[o]good ^(X)pleasure of Yahweh will succeed in His hand.
¹¹ As a result of the ^[p]anguish of His soul,
He will ^(Y)see ^[q]it and be satisfied;
By His ^(Z)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will ^[r]justify the many,
As He will ^(AA)bear their iniquities.
¹² Therefore, I will divide for Him a ^(AB)portion with the many,
And He will divide the spoil with the strong;
Because He poured out ^(AC)His soul to death,
And was ^(AD)numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself ^[s](AE)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
