CHAP. LIII.

1 Of Christ and his kingdome, whose worde fewe will be∣leue. 6 All men are sinners. 11 Christ is our righteousnes. 12 And is dead for our sinnes.

1 WHoa will beleue our reporte? and to whome is theb arme of the Lorde re∣ueiled?

2 But he shal growe vp before him as a brāche, and as ac roote out of a dryed grounde: he hathe nether forme nor beautie: when we shall se hym, there shalbe no forme that we shulde desire him.

3 He is despised and reiected of men: he is a man ful of sorows and hathe experience ofe infirmities: we hid as it were our faces from him: he was dispised ād we estemed him not.

4 Surely he hathe borne our infirmities, ād ca∣riedf our sorowes: yet we did iudge him, asg plagued, and smitten of God, and humbled.

5 But he was wonded for our transgressions, he was broken for our iniquities: theh cha∣stisement of our peace (was) vpon hym, and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like shepe haue gone astraie: we haue turned cuerie one to hys owne way, and the Lorde hathe layed vpon hym thei iniquitie of vs all.

7 He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet did he notk open his mouth: he is broght as a shepe to the slaughter, and as a shepe befo∣re her shearer is dumme, so he openeth not his mouth.

8 He was taken out froml prison, and frome iudgement:m and who shall declare hys age? for he was cut out of the land of the liuyng: for the transgression of my people was he plagued.

9n And he made his graue with the wicked, & with the riche in his death, thogh he had done no wickednes, nether (was) anie decei te in his mouth.

10 Yet the Lord wolde breake him, and make him subiect to infirmites: wheno he shal ma∣ke his soule an offring for sinne, he shalse (his) sede (and) shal prolong (his) daies, & the wil of the Lord shal prosper in his hand.

11 He shalse of thep trauaile of his soule, (and) shalbe satisfied: by his knowledge shal myq righteous seruant iustifie manie: for he shal beare their iniquities,

12 Therefore wil I giue him a portion with the great, and he shal deuide the spoyle with the strong, because her hathe powred out his soule vnto death: and he was counted with the transgressers, and he bare the sinnes of many, and prayed for the trespassers.
