    8By oppression and judgment, he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people, he was punished.

    9He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

    10Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer. When you make his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.

    11After his suffering, he will see the result and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.

    12Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

    1Who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

    2He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no form or majesty to attract us to him, and no appearance that we should desire him.

    3He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Like one from whom people hide their faces, he was despised, and we did not esteem him.

    4Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

    5But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed.

    6We all, like sheep, have gone astray; each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
