2
For he grew up before him like a young plant, 3and like a root out of dry ground; 4he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.
3
5He was despised and rejectedb by men; a man of sorrows,c and acquainted withd grief;e and as one from whom men hide their facesf he was despised, and 6we esteemed him not.
4
7Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, 8smitten by God, and afflicted.
5
9But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, 10and with his stripes we are healed.
6
11All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way; 12and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, 13yet he opened not his mouth; 14like a 15lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
8
By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, 16who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
9
And they made his grave with the wicked 17and with a rich man in his death, although 18he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10
Yet 19it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief;g 20when his soul makesh an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; 21the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
