² It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
³ It is like the dew of ^(B)Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For ^(C)there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.

⁴ Surely ^(E)He has borne our ^[g]griefs
And carried our ^[h]sorrows;
Yet we ^[i]esteemed Him stricken,
^[j]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵ But He was ^(F)wounded^[k] for our transgressions,
He was ^[l]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His ^(G)stripes^[m] we are healed.
⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord ^[n]has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet ^(H)He opened not His mouth;
^(I)He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
⁸ He was ^(J)taken from ^[o]prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For ^(K)He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
^9 (L)And ^[p]they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any ^(M)deceit in His mouth.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased the Lord to ^[q]bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul ^(N)an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
^11 [r]He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge ^(O)My righteous ^(P)Servant shall ^(Q)justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
^12 (R)Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
^(S)And He shall divide the ^[s]spoil with the strong,
Because He ^(T)poured out His soul unto death,
And He was ^(U)numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And ^(V)made intercession for the transgressors.
