53 Who has believed what we have heard?^[a]
And to whom has the arm of the Lord^(A) been revealed?^(B)
2 He grew up before him like a young plant^(C)
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.^(D)
3 He was despised and rejected by men,^(E)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.^(F)
He was like someone people turned away from;^[b]
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.

⁴ Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
and he carried our pains;^(G)
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
struck down by God,^(H) and afflicted.
⁵ But he was pierced because of our rebellion,^(I)
crushed because of our iniquities;^(J)
punishment^(K) for our peace was on him,
and we are healed by his wounds.^(L)
6 We all went astray like sheep;^(M)
we all have turned to our own way;
and the Lord has punished him
for^[c] the iniquity^(N) of us all.^(O)

¹⁰ Yet the Lord was pleased^(A) to crush him severely.^[a](B)
When^[b] you make him a guilt offering,^(C)
he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,
and by his hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.^(D)
11 After his anguish,
he will see light^[c] and be satisfied.
By his knowledge,
my righteous^(E) servant^(F) will justify many,^(G)
and he will carry their iniquities.
¹² Therefore I will give him^[d] the many as a portion,
and he will receive^[e] the mighty as spoil,
because he willingly submitted to death,^(H)
and was counted among the rebels;^(I)
yet he bore the sin of many^(J)
and interceded for the rebels.^(K)
