Claiming Responsibility
1 (A) Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 For He grew up before Him like a (B) tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; He has (C) no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should [a] be attracted to Him.
3 He was (D) despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and (E) acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face He was (F) despised, and we did not (G) esteem Him.
4 Surely our [b] griefs He Himself (H) bore, and our sorrows He carried; yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of (I) God, and afflicted.
5 But He was [c] pierced through for (J) our transgressions, He was crushed for (K) our iniquities; the (L) chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by (M) His scourging 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 caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not (N) open His mouth; (O) 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.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away; and as for His generation, who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living (P) for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9 His grave was assigned with wicked men, yet He was with a (Q) rich man in His death, (R) because He had (S) done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10 But the LORD was pleased to (T) crush Him, (U) putting Him to grief; if He would render Himself as a guilt (V) offering, He will see (W) His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good (X) pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
