You must recognize the authority of the Lord who commands armies. He is the one you must respect; he is the one you must fear.

An honorable man makes honorable plans; his honorable character gives him security.

What can I say? He has decreed and acted. I will walk slowly all my years because I am overcome with grief.

He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds, crushed because of our sins; he endured punishment that made us well; because of his wounds we have been healed.

But he does not agree with this, his mind does not reason this way, for his goal is to destroy, and to eliminate many nations.

He assigns them their allotment; he measures out their assigned place. They will live there permanently; they will settle in it through successive generations.

A thoroughfare will be there – it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it; it is reserved for those authorized to use it – fools will not stray into it.

But these people are looted and plundered; all of them are trapped in pits and held captive in prisons. They were carried away as loot with no one to rescue them; they were carried away as plunder, and no one says, “Bring that back!”

He was treated harshly and afflicted, but he did not even open his mouth. Like a lamb led to the slaughtering block, like a sheep silent before her shearers, he did not even open his mouth.

So I will assign him a portion with the multitudes, he will divide the spoils of victory with the powerful, because he willingly submitted to death and was numbered with the rebels, when he lifted up the sin of many and intervened on behalf of the rebels.”
