Isaiah ā Chapter 53
Isaiah speaks about the MessiahāHis humiliation and sufferings are describedāHe makes His soul an offering for sin and makes intercession for the transgressorsāCompare Mosiah 14.
1
Who hath abelieved our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2
For he shall grow up before him as a tender aplant, and as a broot out of a cdry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no dbeauty that we should desire him.
3
He is adespised and rejected of men; a man of bsorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we cesteemed him not.
4
Ā¶ Surely he hath aborne our bgriefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5
But he wasawounded for our btransgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his cstripes we are dhealed.
6
All we like asheep have gone bastray; we have turned every one to his cown way; and the Lord hath laid on him the diniquity of us all.
7
He was aoppressed, and he was bafflicted, yet he copened not his mouth: he is brought as a dlamb to the eslaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his ageneration? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the btransgression of my people was he stricken.
9
And he made his grave with the awicked, and with the rich in his bdeath; cbecause he had done no dviolence, neither was anyedeceit in his mouth.
10
Ā¶ Yet it pleased the Lord to abruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an boffering for sin, he shall see hiscseed, he shall prolong his days, and the dpleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
