Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm
of the LORD been revealed? He grew
up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no
beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we
should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering,
and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was
despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore
our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and
afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our
iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds
we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to
our own way; and the LORD has laid
on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not
open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before
its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and
judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut
off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was
punished. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his
death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it
was the LORD’s will to crush him
and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD
makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his
days, and the will of the LORD
will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life
and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and
he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the
great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his
life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin
of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:1-12
what words have I,
that pay honor to a king?
what gift can be given,
worthy of his name?
He who overcame,
He who defeated death forever,
He who reigns eternally;
He who is our master;
mocked and mistreated,
spit upon and reviled,
beaten and scourged,
led like a lamb to the slaughter,
sacrificed upon a tree for our
iniquities and transgressions,
resurrected from the grave,
that through faith in him,
none should perish,
but all might have life;
through Him are all things possible,
through Him are all things made new,
to Him does all praise belong,
to Him is all glory given,
lift up his name
before all others;
Yeshua,
the Holy One of God
