1. Who has believed our report?And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2. For he grew up before Him as a tender plantand as a root out of a dry ground.He has no form or majesty that we should look upon himnor appearance that we should desire him.
3. He was despised and rejected of men,a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.And we hid, as it were, our faces from him;he was despised, and we did not esteem him.
4. Surely he has borne our griefand carried our sorrows;Yet we esteemed him stricken,smitten of God, and afflicted.
5. But he was wounded for our transgressions,he was bruised for our iniquities;the chastisement of our peace was upon him,and by his stripes we are healed.
6. All of us like sheep have gone astray;each of us has turned to his own way,but the Lord has laid on himthe iniquity of us all.
7. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,yet he opened not his mouth;he was brought as a lamb to the slaughter,and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,so he opened not his mouth.
8. By oppression and judgment he was taken away,and who shall declare his generation?For he was cut off out of the land of the living;for the transgression of my people he was struck.
