1Who <04310> would have believed <0539> what we just heard <08052>? When <04310> was the Lord’s <03068> power <02220> revealed <01540> through <05921> him?
2He sprouted up <05927> like a twig <03126> before <06440> God, like a root <08328> out of parched <06723> soil <0776>; he had no <03808> stately form <08389> or <03808> majesty <01926> that might catch our attention <07200>, no <03808> special appearance <04758> that we should want <02530> to follow him.
3He was despised <0959> and rejected <02310> by people <0376>, one <0376> who experienced pain <04341> and was acquainted <03045> with illness <02483>; people hid <04564> their faces <06440> from <04480> him; he was despised <0959>, and we considered him insignificant <02803> <03808>.
4But <0403> he lifted up <05375> our illnesses <02483>, he <01931> carried <05445> our pain <04341>; even though we <0587> thought <02803> he was being punished <05060>, attacked <05221> by God <0430>, and afflicted <06031> for something he had done.
5He <01931> was wounded <02490> because of our rebellious deeds <06588>, crushed <01792> because of our sins <05771>; he endured punishment <04148> that made us well <07965>; because of his wounds <02250> we have been healed <07495>.
6All <03605> of us had wandered off <08582> like sheep <06629>; each <0376> of us had strayed off <06437> on his own path <01870>, but the Lord <03068> caused the sin <05771> of all <03605> of us to attack <06293> him.
7He was treated harshly <05065> and afflicted <06031>, but he did not <03808> even open <06605> his mouth <06310>. Like a lamb <07716> led <02986> to the slaughtering <02874> block, like a sheep <07353> silent <0481> before <06440> her shearers <01494>, he did not <03808> even open <06605> his mouth <06310>.
8He was led away <03947> after an unjust trial <04941> <06115>– but who <04310> even cared <07878>? Indeed <03588>, he was cut off <01504> from the land <0776> of the living <02416>; because of the rebellion <06588> of his own people <05971> he was wounded <05061>.
9They intended to bury <06913> <05414> him with <0854> criminals <07563>, but he ended up <04194> in <0854> a rich man’s <06223> tomb, because <05921> he had committed <06213> no <03808> violent deeds <02555>, nor <03808> had he spoken <06310> deceitfully <04820>.
10Though the Lord <03068> desired <02654> to crush <01792> him and make <02470> him ill <02470>, once restitution <05315> <0817> is made <07760>, he will see <07200> descendants <02233> and enjoy long <0748> life <03117>, and the Lord’s <03068> purpose <02656> will be accomplished <06743> through <03027> him.
11Having suffered, he will reflect <07200> on his work <05999>, he will be satisfied <07646> when he understands <01847> what he has done. “My servant <05650> will acquit <06663> many <07227>, for he carried <05445> their <01931> sins <05771>.
12So <03651> I will assign <02505> him a portion <02505> with <0854> the multitudes <07227>, he will divide <02505> the spoils <07998> of victory with the powerful <06099>, because <08478> he willingly submitted <06168> to death <04194> and was numbered <04487> with <0854> the rebels <06586>, when he lifted up <05375> the sin <02399> of many <07227> and intervened on behalf <06293> of the rebels <06586>.”
