Isaiah 53:1-6 NIV
1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 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.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and
familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he
was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and
afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed
for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds
we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned
to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. |
