Jesus of Nazareth Paid the Price of our ransom!

Who has believed our report?

    And to whom has the arm of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) 

been revealed?

For he grew up before Him 

as a tender plant

    and as a root out of a dry ground.

He has no form or majesty that we should look upon him

    nor appearance that 

we should desire him.

He was despised and 

rejected of men,

    a man of sorrows 

and acquainted with grief.

And we hid, as it were, 

our faces from him;

    he was despised, and 

we did not esteem him.

Surely he has borne our grief

    and carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed him stricken,

    smitten of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), and afflicted.

But he was wounded 

for our transgressions,

    he was bruised 

for our iniquities (sin);

the chastisement of our peace

 was upon him,

    and by his stripes we are healed.

All of us like sheep 

have gone astray;

    each of us has turned to 

his own way,

but the Almighty 

YHVH (YEHOVAH)

 has laid on him 

the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted,

    yet he opened not his mouth;

he was brought as 

a lamb to the slaughter,

    and as a sheep before 

its shearers is silent,

    so he opened not his mouth.

 

By oppression and judgment 

he was taken away,

    and who will declare 

his generation?

For he was cut off out of 

the land of the living;

    for the transgression of 

my people he was struck.

His grave was assigned 

with the wicked,

    yet with the rich in his death,

because he had done 

no violence,

    nor was any deceit in 

his mouth.

Yet it pleased the Almighty 

YHVH (YEHOVAH) to bruise him; 

Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) has put him to grief.

    If he made himself as 

an offering for sin,

he shall see his offspring, 

he shall prolong his days,

    and the good pleasure of 

the Almighty 

YHVH (YEHOVAH) will prosper 

in his hand.

He will see of the anguish of 

his souland be satisfied.

By his knowledge My righteous servant shall justify the many,

    for he shall bear their iniquities.

Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) said,

"Therefore, I will divide him a portion

 with the great,

    and he shall divide the spoil 

with the strong,

because he poured out 

his soul to death,

    and he was numbered 

with the transgressors,

thus he bore the sin of many

    and made intercession 

for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53
