Isaiah 53:3

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.

Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

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.

They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”

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.
