Isaiah 53 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Suffering Servant

Isa 53:1

Who has believed our report?

And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

Isa 53:2

For He grew up before Him like a tender [fn]shoot,

And like a root out of dry ground;

He has no stately form or majesty

That we would look at Him,

Nor an appearance that we would take pleasure in Him.

Isa 53:3

He was despised and abandoned by men,

A man of [fn]great pain and familiar with sickness;

And like one from whom people hide their faces,

He was despised, and we had no regard for Him.

Isa 53:4

However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore,

And our pains that He carried;

Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,

Struck down by God, and humiliated.

Isa 53:5

But He was [fn]pierced for our offenses,

He was crushed for our wrongdoings;

The punishment for our [fn]well-being was laid upon Him,

And by His wounds we are healed.

Isa 53:6

All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,

Each of us has turned to his own way;

But the LORD has caused the wrongdoing of us all

To [fn]fall on Him.

Isa 53:7

He was oppressed and afflicted,

Yet He did not open His mouth;

Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,

And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,

So He did not open His mouth.

Isa 53:8

By oppression and judgment He was taken away;

And as for His generation, who considered

That He was cut off from the land of the [fn]living

For the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?

Isa 53:9

And His grave was assigned with wicked men,

Yet He was with a rich man in His death,

Because He had done no violence,

Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

Isa 53:10

But the LORD desired

To crush Him, [fn]causing Him grief;

If He renders [fn]Himself as a guilt offering,

He will see His [fn]offspring,

He will prolong His days,

And the [fn]good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.

Isa 53:11

As a result of the [fn]anguish of His soul,

He will [fn]see it and be satisfied;

By His knowledge the Righteous One,

My Servant, will justify the many,

For He will bear their wrongdoings.

Isa 53:12

Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,

And He will divide the plunder with the strong,

Because He poured out His [fn]life unto death,

And was counted with wrongdoers;

Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,

And interceded for the wrongdoers.
