1

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

2

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.

3

He is despised and rejected of men a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5

But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him and with his stripes we are healed.

6

All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one to his own way and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his mouth.

10

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul 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

He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many for he shall bear their iniquities.

12

Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
