1 Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a child,
like a root in a thirsty land;
he has no form or glory,
and we saw him,
and he had no form or beauty.
3 But his form was without honor,
failing beyond all men,
a man being in calamity
and knowing how to bear sickness;
because his face is turned away,
he was dishonored and not esteemed.
4 This one bears our sins
and suffers pain for us,
and we accounted him to be in trouble
and calamity and ill-treatment.
5 But he was wounded because of our acts of lawlessness
and has been weakened because of our sins;
upon him was the discipline^d [d Or _punishment_] of our peace;
by his bruise we were healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
a man has strayed in his own way,
and the Lord gave him over to our sins.
7 And he, because he has been ill-treated,
does not open his mouth;
like a sheep he was led to the slaughter,
and as a lamb is silent before the one shearing it,
so he does not open his mouth.
8 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away.
Who will describe his generation?
Because his life is being taken from the earth,
he was led to death on account of^a [a, re: "on account of": Or _from_] the acts of lawlessness of my people.
9 And I will give the wicked for his burial
and the rich for his death,
because he committed no lawlessness,
nor was deceit found in his mouth.
10-11 And the Lord desires to cleanse him from his blow.
If you offer for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived offspring.
And the Lord wishes to take away from the pain of his soul,
to show him light
and fill^b [b: _mold_ = Zi] him with understanding,
to justify a righteous one who is well subject to many,
and he himself shall bear their sins.
12 Therefore he shall inherit many^c [c, re: "he shall inherit many": Or _he shall cause many to inherit_],
and he shall divide the spoils of the strong,
because his soul was given over to death,
and he was reckoned among the lawless,
and he bore the sins of many,
and because of their sins he was given over.

(LXX: Brenton) The heart is deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?

Chapter LIII.
1 Who hath believed this our report?
and to whom is now the power of the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 The righteous shall be great before Him,
behold, like branches that bud;
and like a tree which sends forth its roots by the streams of water,
thus shall the generation of the just multiply in the land,
which hath need of Him.
3 His visage shall not be the visage of a common person,
neither His fear the fear of a plebeian ;
but a holy brightness shall be His brightness,
that every one who seeth Him shall contemplate Him.
4 Although He shall be in contempt ;
yet He shall cut of the glory of all the wicked,
they shall be weak and wretched.
Lo, we are in contempt and not esteemed,
as a man of pain and appointed to sickness,
and as if He had removed the face of His Shekinah from us.
5 Therefore He shall pray for our sins,
and our iniquities for His sake shall be forgiven us;
for we are considered crushed, smitten of the Lord, and afflicted.
6 He shall build the house of the sanctuary,
which has been profaned on account of our sins ;
He was delivered over on account of our iniquities,
and through His doctrine peace shall be multiplied upon us,
and through the teaching of His words our sins shall be forgiven us.
7 All we like sheep have been scattered,
every one of us has turned to his own way ;
it pleased the Lord to forgive the sins of all of us for His sake.
8 He shall pray and He shall be answered,
yea, before He shall open His mouth, He shall be heard ;
He shall deliver over the mighty of the nations as a lamb to the slaughter,
and like a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
none shall in His presence open his mouth, or speak a word.
9 He shall gather our captives from affliction and pain,
and who shall be able to narrate the wonderful works which shall be done for us in His days ?
He shall remove the rule of the nations from the land of Israel,
the sins which my people have committed have come upon them.
10 And He shall deliver the wicked into hell [literally: Gehenna -d],
and the riches of treasures which they got by violence unto the death of Abaddon,
that they who commit sin shall not remain,
and that they should not speak folly with their mouth.
11 And it was the pleasure of the Lord to refine and to purify the remnant of His people,
in order to cleanse their souls from sin,
that they might see the kingdom of their Messiah,
that their sons and daughters might multiply, and prolong their days,
and those that keep the law of the Lord shall prosper through His pleasure.
12 He shall deliver their souls from the servitude of the nations,
they shall see the vengeance upon their enemies;
they shall be satisfied with the spoil of their kings.
By His wisdom He shall justify the righteous,
in order to make many to keep the law,
and He shall pray for their sins.
13 Therefore I will divide to Him the spoil of many people,
and the treasures of strong fortifications;
He shall divide the spoil;
because He has delivered His life unto death,
and He shall make the rebellious to keep the law;
He shall pray for the sins of many,
and as for the transgressors,
each shall be pardoned for His sake.
