Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye. out from thence, touch not. what is unclean; goye out of the midst of her; purify your- - selves, ye that bear the vessels of the LORD.

[*](2. ‘the hands...loosed’: so Heb. text. Margin, most generally followed, ‘loose thyself from the bands of thy neck.’)[*](” 3. ‘for nought’: i.e. gratis (so Vulg.). Cf. ver. 5.)[*](7. ‘ beautiful’: perhaps, ‘Jeemly,’ or ‘ timely’: cf. Greek.)[*](11. ‘ ye that bear...’ or, ‘ye armour-bearers of the LORD ’ (regular phrase for armour-bearer): perhaps both meanings are conveyed.)

276

12 For ye shall not go out in haste, nor go in ﬂight: for the Lord goeth before you, and the God of Israel is your rereward.

13 Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be high, and lifted up, and exalted exceedingly.

14 Like as many were appalled at thee; his sightliness was so marred from (that of) a man, and his form from (that of) the sons of men: ’

15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; kingsshall shut their mouths because of him; for that which was not recounted to them shall they see, and that which they heard not shall they discern.

LIII. 1 Who hath believed our message? and the arm of the Lord, to whom was it revealed?

2 And he grew up before him as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground: he had no form nor majesty; and we saw him, and there was no sightliness, that we should desire him.

3 Despised and avoided of men; a man of pains, and one that knew sickness; and as one from whom faces are hid despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he bore- our sicknesses; and our pains, he supported them; and we, (on our part,) did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 And he was pierced for our rebellions, bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and in his stripes was there healing for us.

6 All we like sheep did go astray; we turned every one to his own way; and the lord made to fall upon him the iniquity of us all.
