¹ Who has believed what we have heard?^[a]
And who has the arm of the Lord^(a) been revealed to?^(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 transgressions,⁽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)

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.^(p)
8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment;
and who considered His fate?^[d]
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
He was struck because of my people's rebellion.
⁹ They^[e] made His grave with the wicked
and with a rich man at His death,^(q)
although He had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully.^(r)

¹⁰ Yet the Lord was pleased^(s) to crush Him severely.^[f](t)
When^[g] You make Him a restitution offering,^(u)
He will see His seed, He will prolong His days,
and by His hand, the Lord's pleasure will be accomplished.^(v)
11 He will see it^[h] out of His anguish,
and He will be satisfied with His knowledge.
My righteous^(w) Servant^(x) will justify many,^(y)
and He will carry their iniquities.
¹² Therefore I will give Him^[i] the many as a portion,
and He will receive^[j] the mighty as spoil,
because He submitted Himself to death,^(z)
and was counted among the rebels;^(aa)
yet He bore the sin of many^(ab)
and interceded for the rebels.^(ac)
