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.
