Isaías 53

1 Who has believed what we have heard?  * 53:1 Or believed our report

And to whom has the arm of the  Lord* 53:1 Is 30:30; 40:10; 48:14; 51:9; 52:10; Lk 1:51; Ac 13:17 been revealed?  * 53:1 Jn 12:38; Rm 10:16

2 He grew up before him like a young plant  * 53:2 Is 11:1

and like a root out of dry ground.

He didn’t have an impressive form

or majesty that we should look at him,

no appearance that we should desire him.  * 53:2 Is 52:14

3 He was despised and rejected by men,  * 53:3 Ps 22:6; Is 49:7; Lk 18:31–33

a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.  * 53:3 Mk 8:31; Jn 1:10–11; Heb 4:15

He was like someone people turned away from;  * 53:3 Lit And like a hiding of faces from him

he was despised, and we didn’t value him.

4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,

and he carried our pains;  * 53:4 Mt 8:17; 1Pt 2:21

but we in turn regarded him stricken,

struck down by God,  * 53:4 Ps 69:26 and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion,  * 53:5 Is 53:8; Rm 4:25; 1Co 15:3; Heb 9:28

crushed because of our iniquities;  * 53:5 Is 1:4

punishment  * 53:5 Jr 2:30; Zph 3:2; Heb 5:8 for our peace was on him,

and we are healed by his wounds.  * 53:5–6 1Pt 2:24–25

6 We all went astray like sheep;  * 53:6 Mt 18:12

we all have turned to our own way;

and the Lord has punished him

for  * 53:6 Or has placed on him; lit with the iniquity  * 53:6 Is 13:11 of us all.  * 53:6 2Co 5:21; Col 2:14

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,

yet he did not open his mouth.

Like a lamb led to the slaughter

and like a sheep silent before her shearers,

he did not open his mouth.  * 53:7 Jr 11:19; Mt 26:63; 27:12–14; Lk 23:9; Jn 19:9; Ac 8:32–33; 1Pt 2:23

8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment,

and who considered his fate?  * 53:8 Or and as for his generation, who considered him?

For he was cut off from the land of the living;

he was struck because of my people’s rebellion.

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,

but he was with a rich man at his death,  * 53:9 Mt 27:57–60

because he had done no violence

and had not spoken deceitfully.  * 53:9 Heb 4:15; 1Pt 2:22; 1Jn 3:5

10 Yet the Lord was pleased  * 53:10 Is 44:28; 55:11 to crush him severely.  * 53:10 Or him; he made him sick.,* 53:10 Dt 29:22; Is 17:11

When  * 53:10 Or If you make him a guilt offering,  * 53:10 Lv 5:1–19

he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,

and by his hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.  * 53:10 Is 46:10

11 After his anguish,

he will see light  * 53:11 DSS, LXX; MT omits light and be satisfied.

By his knowledge,

my righteous  * 53:11 1Jn 2:1 servant  * 53:11 Is 42:1 will justify many,  * 53:11 Ac 13:39; Rm 5:18–19

and he will carry their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will give him  * 53:12 Or him with the many as a portion,

and he will receive  * 53:12 Or receive with the mighty as spoil,

because he willingly submitted to death,  * 53:12 Mt 26:42; Jn 10:14–18; Php 2:6–8

and was counted among the rebels;  * 53:12 Lk 22:37

yet he bore the sin of many  * 53:12 Heb 9:28

and interceded for the rebels.  * 53:12 Lk 23:34; Rm 8:34; Heb 7:25
