WEB·Isaiah 53

¹Who has believed our message? To whom has Yahweh’s arm been revealed?

KJVWho hath believed^H539^(H8689) our report^H8052? and to whom is the arm^H2220 of the LORD^H3068 revealed^H1540^(H8738)?

² For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

KJVFor he shall grow up^H5927^(H8799) before^H6440 him as a tender plant^H3126, and as a root^H8328 out of a dry^H6723 ground^H776: he hath no form^H8389 nor comeliness^H1926; and when we shall see^H7200^(H8799) him, there is no beauty^H4758 that we should desire^H2530^(H8799) him.

³ He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

KJVHe is despised^H959^(H8737) and rejected^H2310 of men^H376; a man^H376 of sorrows^H4341, and acquainted^H3045^(H8803) with grief^H2483: and we hid as it were^H4564^(H8688) our faces^H6440 from him; he was despised^H959^(H8737), and we esteemed^H2803^(H8804) him not.

⁴ Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

KJVSurely^H403 he hath borne^H5375^(H8804) our griefs^H2483, and carried^H5445^(H8804) our sorrows^H4341: yet we did esteem^H2803^(H8804) him stricken^H5060^(H8803), smitten^H5221^(H8716) of God^H430, and afflicted^H6031^(H8794).

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

KJVBut he was wounded^H2490^(H8775) for our transgressions^H6588, he was bruised^H1792^(H8794) for our iniquities^H5771: the chastisement^H4148 of our peace^H7965 was upon him; and with his stripes^H2250 we are healed^H7495^(H8738).

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

KJVAll we like sheep^H6629 have gone astray^H8582^(H8804); we have turned^H6437^(H8804) every one^H376 to his own way^H1870; and the LORD^H3068 hath laid^H6293^(H8689) on him the iniquity^H5771 of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

KJVHe was oppressed^H5065^(H8738), and he was afflicted^H6031^(H8737), yet he opened^H6605^(H8799) not his mouth^H6310: he is brought^H2986^(H8714) as a lamb^H7716 to the slaughter^H2874, and as a sheep^H7353 before^H6440 her shearers^H1494^(H8802) is dumb^H481^(H8738), so he openeth^H6605^(H8799) not his mouth^H6310.

⁸ He was taken away by oppression and judgment. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?

KJVHe was taken^H3947^(H8795) from prison^H6115 and from judgment^H4941: and who shall declare^H7878^(H8787) his generation^H1755? for he was cut off^H1504^(H8738) out of the land^H776 of the living^H2416: for the transgression^H6588 of my people^H5971 was he stricken^H5061.

⁹ They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

KJVAnd he made^H5414^(H8799) his grave^H6913 with the wicked^H7563, and with the rich^H6223 in his death^H4194; because he had done^H6213^(H8804) no violence^H2555, neither was any deceit^H4820 in his mouth^H6310.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

KJVYet it pleased^H2654^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 to bruise^H1792^(H8763) him; he hath put him to grief^H2470^(H8689): when thou shalt make^H7760^(H8799) his soul^H5315 an offering for sin^H817, he shall see^H7200^(H8799) his seed^H2233, he shall prolong^H748^(H8686) his days^H3117, and the pleasure^H2656 of the LORD^H3068 shall prosper^H6743^(H8799) in his hand^H3027.

¹¹ After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.

KJVHe shall see^H7200^(H8799) of the travail^H5999 of his soul^H5315, and shall be satisfied^H7646^(H8799): by his knowledge^H1847 shall my righteous^H6662 servant^H5650 justify^H6663^(H8686) many^H7227; for he shall bear^H5445^(H8799) their iniquities^H5771.

¹² Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

KJVTherefore will I divide^H2505^(H8762) him a portion with the great^H7227, and he shall divide^H2505^(H8762) the spoil^H7998 with the strong^H6099; because he hath poured out^H6168^(H8689) his soul^H5315 unto death^H4194: and he was numbered^H4487^(H8738) with the transgressors^H6586^(H8802); and he bare^H5375^(H8804) the sin^H2399 of many^H7227, and made intercession^H6293^(H8686) for the transgressors^H6586^(H8802).

WEB·Isaiah 52

¹Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

KJVAwake^H5782^(H8798), awake^H5782^(H8798); put on^H3847^(H8798) thy strength^H5797, O Zion^H6726; put on^H3847^(H8798) thy beautiful^H8597 garments^H899, O Jerusalem^H3389, the holy^H6944 city^H5892: for henceforth there shall no more^H3254^(H8686) come^H935^(H8799) into thee the uncircumcised^H6189 and the unclean^H2931.

² Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!

KJVShake^H5287^(H8690) thyself from the dust^H6083; arise^H6965^(H8798), and sit down^H3427^(H8798), O Jerusalem^H3389: loose^H6605^(H8690) thyself from the bands^H4147 of thy neck^H6677, O captive^H7628 daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726.

³ For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”

KJVFor thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068, Ye have sold^H4376^(H8738) yourselves for nought^H2600; and ye shall be redeemed^H1350^(H8735) without money^H3701.

⁴ For the Lord Yahweh says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.

KJVFor thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, My people^H5971 went down^H3381^(H8804) aforetime^H7223 into Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481^(H8800) there; and the Assyrian^H804 oppressed^H6231^(H8804) them without cause^H657.

⁵ “Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.

KJVNow therefore, what have I here, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068, that my people^H5971 is taken away^H3947^(H8795) for nought^H2600? they that rule^H4910^(H8802) over them make them to howl^H3213^(H8686), saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068; and my name^H8034 continually^H8548 every day^H3117 is blasphemed^H5006^(H8711).

⁶ Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”

KJVTherefore my people^H5971 shall know^H3045^(H8799) my name^H8034: therefore they shall know in that day^H3117 that I am he that doth speak^H1696^(H8764): behold, it is I.

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

KJVHow beautiful^H4998^(H8773) upon the mountains^H2022 are the feet^H7272 of him that bringeth good tidings^H1319^(H8764), that publisheth^H8085^(H8688) peace^H7965; that bringeth good tidings^H1319^(H8764) of good^H2896, that publisheth^H8085^(H8688) salvation^H3444; that saith^H559^(H8802) unto Zion^H6726, Thy God^H430 reigneth^H4427^(H8804)!

⁸ Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.

KJVThy watchmen^H6822^(H8802) shall lift up^H5375^(H8804) the voice^H6963; with the voice^H6963 together^H3162 shall they sing^H7442^(H8762): for they shall see^H7200^(H8799) eye^H5869 to eye^H5869, when the LORD^H3068 shall bring again^H7725^(H8800) Zion^H6726.

⁹ Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.

KJVBreak forth into joy^H6476^(H8798), sing^H7442^(H8761) together^H3162, ye waste places^H2723 of Jerusalem^H3389: for the LORD^H3068 hath comforted^H5162^(H8765) his people^H5971, he hath redeemed^H1350^(H8804) Jerusalem^H3389.

¹⁰ Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

KJVThe LORD^H3068 hath made bare^H2834^(H8804) his holy^H6944 arm^H2220 in the eyes^H5869 of all the nations^H1471; and all the ends^H657 of the earth^H776 shall see^H7200^(H8804) the salvation^H3444 of our God^H430.

¹¹ Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.

KJVDepart^H5493^(H8798) ye, depart^H5493^(H8798) ye, go ye out^H3318^(H8798) from thence, touch^H5060^(H8799) no unclean^H2931 thing; go ye out^H3318^(H8798) of the midst^H8432 of her; be ye clean^H1305^(H8734), that bear^H5375^(H8802) the vessels^H3627 of the LORD^H3068.

¹² For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for Yahweh will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

KJVFor ye shall not go out^H3318^(H8799) with haste^H2649, nor go^H3212^(H8799) by flight^H4499: for the LORD^H3068 will go^H1980^(H8802) before^H6440 you; and the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 will be your rereward^H622^(H8764).

¹³ Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.

KJVBehold, my servant^H5650 shall deal prudently^H7919^(H8686), he shall be exalted^H7311^(H8799) and extolled^H5375^(H8738), and be very^H3966 high^H1361^(H8804).

¹⁴ Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—

KJVAs many^H7227 were astonied^H8074^(H8804) at thee; his visage^H4758 was so marred^H4893 more than any man^H376, and his form^H8389 more than the sons^H1121 of men^H120:

¹⁵ so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.

KJVSo shall he sprinkle^H5137^(H8686) many^H7227 nations^H1471; the kings^H4428 shall shut^H7092^(H8799) their mouths^H6310 at him: for that which had not been told^H5608^(H8795) them shall they see^H7200^(H8804); and that which they had not heard^H8085^(H8804) shall they consider^H995^(H8712).
