¹ Who has believed what we have heard?^(F1)2 He grew up before him like a young plant^(C1)
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.^(C2)3 He was despised and rejected by men,^(C1)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.^(C2)
He was like someone people turned away from;^(F1)
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.

⁴ Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
and he carried our pains;^(C1)
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
struck down by God,^(C2) and afflicted.⁵ But he was pierced because of our rebellion,^(C1)
crushed because of our iniquities;^(C2)
punishment^(C3) for our peace was on him,
and we are healed by his wounds.^(C4)6 We all went astray like sheep;^(C1)
we all have turned to our own way;
and the Lord has punished him
for^(F1) the iniquity^(C2) of us all.^(C3)

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.^(C1)8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment;
and who considered his fate?^(F1)
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,^(C1)
because he had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully.^(C2)

¹⁰ Yet the Lord was pleased^(C1) to crush him severely.^(F1)(C2)
When^(F2) you make him a guilt offering,^(C3)
he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,
and by his hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.^(C4)11 After his anguish,
he will see light^(F1) and be satisfied.
By his knowledge,
my righteous^(C1) servant^(C2) will justify many,^(C3)
and he will carry their iniquities.¹² Therefore I will give him^(F1) the many as a portion,
and he will receive^(F2) the mighty as spoil,
because he willingly submitted to death,^(C1)
and was counted among the rebels;^(C2)
yet he bore the sin of many^(C3)
and interceded for the rebels.^(C4)
