^(C1)Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

For He grew up before Him like a ^(C1)tender ^(F1)shoot, And like a root out of dry ground; He has ^(C2)no stately form or majesty That we would look at Him, Nor an appearance that we would take pleasure in Him.

He was ^(C1)despised and abandoned by men, A man of ^(F1)great pain and ^(C2)familiar with sickness; And like one from whom people hide their faces, He was ^(C3)despised, and we had no ^(C4)regard for Him.

However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself ^(C1)bore, And our pains that He carried; Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted, Struck down by ^(C2)God, and humiliated.

But He was ^(F1)pierced for ^(C1)our offenses, He was crushed for ^(C2)our wrongdoings; The ^(C3)punishment for our ^(F2)well-being was laid upon Him, And by ^(C4)His wounds we are healed.

All of us, like sheep, have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the wrongdoing of us all To ^(F1)fall on Him.

He was oppressed and afflicted, Yet He did not ^(C1)open His mouth; ^(C2)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.

By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off from the land of the ^(F1)living ^(C1)For the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?

And His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a ^(C1)rich man in His death, ^(C2)Because He had ^(C3)done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

But the LORD desired To ^(C1)crush Him, ^(F1)(C2)causing Him grief; If He renders ^(F2)Himself as a guilt ^(C3)offering, He will see ^(C4)His ^(F3)offspring, He will prolong His days, And the ^(F4)good ^(C5)pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.

As a result of the ^(F1)anguish of His soul, He will ^(F2)(C1)see it and be satisfied; By His ^(C2)knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, For He will ^(C3)bear their wrongdoings.

Therefore, I will allot Him a ^(C1)portion with the great, And He will divide the plunder with the strong, Because He poured out His ^(F1)(C2)life unto death, And was ^(C3)counted with wrongdoers; Yet He Himself ^(C4)bore the sin of many, And interceded for the wrongdoers.
