reigneth!
8
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they
shall see eye to eye, when the L
ORD
shall bring again Zion.
9
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the L
ORD
hath comforted
his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10
The L
ORD
hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of
all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean
thing;
go ye out of the midst
of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the L
ORD
.
12
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go
by flight: for the L
ORD
will go before you; and the God of Israel
will be
your rereward.
13
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more
than the sons of men:
15
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him:
for
that
which had not been told them shall they see; and
that
which they had not heard shall they
consider.
CHAPTER 53
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the L
ORD
revealed?
2
For he shall grow
up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is
no beauty that we should desire him.
3
He is 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 esteemed him not.
4
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
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.
6
All
we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the L
ORD
hath laid
on him the iniquity of us all.

not his mouth.
8
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no
violence, neither

ORD
shall prosper in his hand.
11
He shall see of the travail of his soul,
and
