Stories of the Prophets (Before the Exile) by Landman, Isaac



A word from our supporters: File extension BIK

"But he was wounded for our transgressions,
Crushed because of our iniquities;
The chastisement for our well-being was upon him,
And through his stripes healing came to us.
"All of us, like sheep, had gone astray,
We had turned each his own way;
And the Lord laid upon him,
The guilt of us all.
"He was sore pressed, yet he resigned himself,
And open not his mouth,
As a lamb is led to the slaughter,
And as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb.
"Shut out from justice he was hurried away;
And as for his fate, who regarded it?--
That he was cut off out of the land of the living,
Stricken to death for our transgressions.
"They made his grave with the wicked,
And his tomb with the ungodly,
Although he had done no violence,
Neither was any deceit in his mouth.
"But the Lord hath pleasure in His servant;
He will deliver his soul from anguish;
He will let him see and be satisfied,
And will vindicate him for his woes."
(Isaiah LIII.)
