Isaiah 53

Isaiah 53

  • 1
    Who has believed our message?
    To whom has the LORD revealed his powerful arm?
  • 1
    The Sin-Bearing Messiah

    Who has believed our report?
    And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
  • 2
    My servant grew up in the LORD’s presence like a tender green shoot,
    like a root in dry ground.
    There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance,
    nothing to attract us to him.
  • 2
    For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
    And as a root out of dry ground.
    He has no [a]form or [b]comeliness;
    And when we see Him,
    There is no [c]beauty that we should desire Him.
  • 3
    He was despised and rejected —
    a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
    We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.
    He was despised, and we did not care.
  • 3
    He is despised and [d]rejected by men,
    A Man of [e]sorrows and acquainted with [f]grief.
    And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
    He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
  • 4
    Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
    it was our sorrowsa that weighed him down.
    And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
    a punishment for his own sins!
  • 4
    Surely He has borne our [g]griefs
    And carried our [h]sorrows;
    Yet we [i]esteemed Him stricken,
    [j]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
  • 5
    But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
    He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.
  • 5
    But He was wounded[k] for our transgressions,
    He was [l]bruised for our iniquities;
    The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
    And by His stripes[m] we are healed.
  • 6
    All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
    We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
    Yet the LORD laid on him
    the sins of us all.
  • 6
    All we like sheep have gone astray;
    We have turned, every one, to his own way;
    And the Lord [n]has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
  • 7
    He was oppressed and treated harshly,
    yet he never said a word.
    He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.
    And as a sheep is silent before the shearers,
    he did not open his mouth.
  • 7
    He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
    Yet He opened not His mouth;
    He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
    And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    So He opened not His mouth.
  • 8
    Unjustly condemned,
    he was led away.b
    No one cared that he died without descendants,
    that his life was cut short in midstream.c
    But he was struck down
    for the rebellion of my people.
  • 8
    He was taken from [o]prison and from judgment,
    And who will declare His generation?
    For He was cut off from the land of the living;
    For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
  • 9
    He had done no wrong
    and had never deceived anyone.
    But he was buried like a criminal;
    he was put in a rich man’s grave.
  • 9
    And [p]they made His grave with the wicked —
    But with the rich at His death,
    Because He had done no violence,
    Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
  • 10
    But it was the LORD’s good plan to crush him
    and cause him grief.
    Yet when his life is made an offering for sin,
    he will have many descendants.
    He will enjoy a long life,
    and the LORD’s good plan will prosper in his hands.
  • 10
    Yet it pleased the Lord to [q]bruise Him;
    He has put Him to grief.
    When You make His soul an offering for sin,
    He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
    And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
  • 11
    When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
    he will be satisfied.
    And because of his experience,
    my righteous servant will make it possible
    for many to be counted righteous,
    for he will bear all their sins.
  • 11
    [r]He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
    By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
    For He shall bear their iniquities.
  • 12
    I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier,
    because he exposed himself to death.
    He was counted among the rebels.
    He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.
  • 12
    Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
    And He shall divide the [s]spoil with the strong,
    Because He poured out His soul unto death,
    And He was numbered with the transgressors,
    And He bore the sin of many,
    And made intercession for the transgressors.
