Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?53.1 report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing? Isa 42:20; Jhn 12:38; Rom 10:16For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Luk 2:46He is 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 esteemed him not.53.3 we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from usMrk 9:12
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Psa 110:7; Mat 20:19But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.53.5 wounded: or, tormented53.5 stripes: Heb. bruise Rom 4:25; 1Co 15:3; 1Pe 2:24All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.53.6 laid…: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him Rom 3:12; Jhn 3:16He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Mat 26:63; Mat 27:12; Mrk 14:61; Act 8:32He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.53.8 from prison…: or, away by distress and judgment: but, etc53.8 was he…: Heb. was the stroke upon him Mat 17:23; 1Co 15:3And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.53.9 death: Heb. deaths1Pe 2:22; 1Jn 3:5
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.53.10 thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering Jhn 12:24He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Jer 23:6; Act 7:52; Jhn 1:29Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.Mrk 15:28; Luk 22:37
