1. Who has believed our message?To whom has the Lord’s power been revealed?
2. He grew up in his presence like a young tree,like a root out of dry ground.He had no form or majesty that would make us look at him.He had nothing in his appearance that would make us desire him.
3. He was despised and rejected by people.He was a man of sorrows, familiar with suffering.He was despised like one from whom people turn their faces,and we didn’t consider him to be worth anything.
4. He certainly has taken upon himself our sufferingand carried our sorrows,but we thought that God had wounded him,beat him, and punished him.
5. He was wounded for our rebellious acts.He was crushed for our sins.He was punished so that we could have peace,and we received healing from his wounds.
6. We have all strayed like sheep.Each one of us has turned to go his own way,and the Lord has laid all our sins on him.
7. He was abused and punished,but he didn’t open his mouth.He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.He was like a sheep that is silentwhen its wool is cut off.He didn’t open his mouth.
