Isa 53:1

Isa 53:1Who would have believed what we just heard? When was the LORD's power revealed through him?

Isa 53:3

Isa 53:3He was despised and rejected by people, one who experienced pain and was acquainted with illness; people hid their faces from him; he was despised, and we considered him insignificant.

Isa 53:8

Isa 53:8He was led away after an unjust trial - but who even cared? Indeed, he was cut off from the land of the living; because of the rebellion of his own people he was wounded.

Isa 53:12

Isa 53:12So I will assign him a portion with the multitudes, he will divide the spoils of victory with the powerful, because he willingly submitted to death and was numbered with the rebels, when he lifted up the sin of many and intervened on behalf of the rebels."
