Isaiah speaks Messianically—Messiah’s humiliation and sufferings set forth—He makes his soul an offering for sin and makes intercession for transgressors—Compare Mosiah 14.

 WHO hath ^abelieved^• our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

 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.

 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.

 ¶ Surely he hath ^aborne^• our ^bgriefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

 But he was ^awounded for our ^btransgressions^•, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his ^cstripes^• we are ^dhealed.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 And he made his grave with the ^awicked^•, and with the rich in his ^bdeath; ^cbecause^• he had done no ^dviolence^•, neither was any ^edeceit in his mouth.

 ¶ 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 his ^cseed^•, he shall prolong his days, and the ^dpleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his ^aknowledge shall my righteous ^bservant ^cjustify many; for he shall ^dbear their iniquities.

 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto ^adeath: and he was numbered with the ^btransgressors^•; and he bare the sin of many, and made ^cintercession^• for the transgressors.
