Isaiah 53:12

 1 Who  has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?  2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no  form or  comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no  beauty that we should desire Him.  3  He is despised and  rejected by men, A Man of  sorrows and  acquainted with  grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and  we did not esteem Him.  4 Surely  He has borne our  griefs And carried our  sorrows; Yet we  esteemed Him stricken,  Smitten by God, and afflicted.  5 But He was wounded  for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His  stripes  we are healed.  6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.  7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet  He opened not His mouth;  He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.  8 He was  taken from  prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For  He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.  9  And  they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.  10 Yet it pleased the Lord to  bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul  an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.  11  He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge  My righteous  Servant shall  justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.  12  Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,  And He shall divide the  spoil with the strong, Because He  poured out His soul unto death, And He was  numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And  made intercession for the transgressors.
