579Or, that which we have heard
53: 2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor splendor; 580and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
580Or, that we should look upon him; nor beauty etc.
53: 3 He was despised, and 581rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with 582grief: and 583as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
581Or, forsaken of men;
582Hb. sickness: (or possibly, being worn down:)
583Or, he hid as it were his face from us, he was etc.
53: 4 Surely he hath borne our 584griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
584Hb. sicknesses,
53: 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
53: 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath 585laid on him the iniquity of us all.
585Hb. made to light on him the iniquity of us all.
53: 7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
53: 8 586By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the 587living for the transgression of my people 588to whom the stroke was due?
