Isaiah 53:4-54:3

New International Version

⁴Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(A)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(B)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(C)
⁵But he was pierced^(D) for our transgressions,^(E)
    he was crushed^(F) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(G) that brought us peace^(H) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(I) we are healed.^(J)
⁶We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(K)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(L)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(M) of us all.

⁷He was oppressed^(N) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(O)
he was led like a lamb^(P) to the slaughter,^(Q)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
⁸By oppression^[a] and judgment^(R) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(S)
    for the transgression^(T) of my people he was punished.^[b]
⁹He was assigned a grave with the wicked,^(U)
    and with the rich^(V) in his death,
though he had done no violence,^(W)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.^(X)

¹⁰Yet it was the Lord’s will^(Y) to crush^(Z) him and cause him to suffer,^(AA)
    and though the Lord makes^[c] his life an offering for sin,^(AB)
he will see his offspring^(AC) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(AD) in his hand.
¹¹After he has suffered,^(AE)
    he will see the light^(AF) of life^[d] and be satisfied^[e];
by his knowledge^[f] my righteous servant^(AG) will justify^(AH) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.^(AI)
¹²Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,^[g]^(AJ)
    and he will divide the spoils^(AK) with the strong,^[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,^(AL)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.^(AM)
For he bore^(AN) the sin of many,^(AO)
    and made intercession^(AP) for the transgressors.

The Future Glory of Zion

54 “Sing, barren woman,^(AQ)
    you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,^(AR)
    you who were never in labor;^(AS)
because more are the children^(AT) of the desolate^(AU) woman
    than of her who has a husband,^(AV)”
says the Lord.
²“Enlarge the place of your tent,^(AW)
    stretch your tent curtains wide,
    do not hold back;
lengthen your cords,
    strengthen your stakes.^(AX)
³For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
    your descendants^(AY) will dispossess nations^(AZ)
    and settle in their desolate^(BA) cities.
