^1 (a)Who has believed what he has heard from us?^[a]
    And to whom has ^(b)the arm of the Lord been revealed?
² For he grew up before him like a young plant,
    ^(c)and like a root out of dry ground;
^(d)he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
    and no beauty that we should desire him.
^3 (e)He was despised and rejected^[b] by men,
    a man of sorrows^[c] and acquainted with^[d] grief;^[e]
and as one from whom men hide their faces^[f]
    he was despised, and ^(f)we esteemed him not.

^4 (g)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    ^(h)smitten by God, and afflicted.
^5 (i)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    ^(j)and with his wounds we are healed.
^6 (k)All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^(l)and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
    ^(m)yet he opened not his mouth;
⁽ⁿ⁾like a ^(o)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
    so he opened not his mouth.
⁸ By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
    and as for his generation, ^(p)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
    stricken for the transgression of my people?
⁹ And they made his grave with the wicked
    ^(q)and with a rich man in his death,
although ^(r)he had done no violence,
    and there was no deceit in his mouth.

¹⁰ Yet ^(s)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
    he has put him to grief;^[g]
(t)when his soul makes^[h] an offering for guilt,
    he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^(u)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
¹¹ Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see^[i] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall ^(v)the righteous one, my servant,
    ^(w)make many to be accounted righteous,
    ^(x)and he shall bear their iniquities.
^12 (y)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,^{[j]
    (z)}and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,^[k]
because he poured out his soul to death
    and was numbered with the transgressors;
^(aa)yet he bore the sin of many,
    and makes intercession for the transgressors.
