Isaiah 53:5
Compare all
3 aHe is despised and1 rejected by men,
A Man of1 sorrows and bacquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and cwe did not esteem Him. 
4 Surely aHe has borne our griefs
And carried our1 sorrows;
Yet we1 esteemed Him stricken,
1Smitten by God, and afflicted. 
5 But He was1 awounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His bstripes we are healed. 
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord1 has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet aHe opened not His mouth;
bHe was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth. 
8 He was ataken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For bHe was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 
9 aAnd1 they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any bdeceit in His mouth. 
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to1 bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul aan offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.

<< Isaiah 53:4   Isaiah 53:6 >>


Isaiah 53:5

wounded—a bodily wound; not mere mental sorrow; literally, "pierced"; minutely appropriate to Messiah, whose hands, feet, and side were pierced (Psalms 22:16). The Margin, wrongly, from a Hebrew root, translates, "tormented."

for . . . for— (Romans 4:25; II Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 9:28; I Peter 2:24; I Peter 3:18) —the cause for which He suffered not His own, but our sins.

bruised—crushing inward and outward suffering (see on Isaiah 53:10).

chastisement—literally, the correction inflicted by a parent on children for their good (Hebrews 12:5-8, Hebrews 12:10-11). Not punishment strictly; for this can have place only where there is guilt, which He had not; but He took on Himself the chastisement whereby the peace (reconciliation with our Father; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:14-15, Ephesians 2:17) of the children of God was to be effected (Hebrews 2:14).

upon him—as a burden; parallel to "hath borne" and "carried."

stripes—minutely prophetical of His being scourged (Matthew 27:26; I Peter 2:24).

healed—spiritually (Psalms 41:4; Jeremiah 8:22).
