[Sidenote: Isa. 49:9c-11] They shall pasture along all ways, Even oh all the bare hills shall they graze. They shall not be hungry nor thirsty, Neither shall the glowing heat nor the sun smite them, For he who hath pity on them shall lead them, And to gushing fountains will he guide them. And I will make all mountains a road, And highways shall be built up. [Sidenote: Isa. 49:12,18] Behold, these come from afar, And these from the north and west, And these from the land of the Syenites! Shout with joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth! Let the mountains break forth into shouts of joy! For Jehovah hath had pity on his people, And will show mercy to his afflicted ones. [Sidenote: Isa. 50:4-6] The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of a trained disciple? To give to the fainting a word of help, he waketh me early, Early he waketh me, that I may listen as a disciple. The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, And I have not been wilful nor turned back rebelliously. [Sidenote: Isa. 50:6, 7] My back I gave to smiters and my cheek to those who plucked the beard, My face I hid not from insult and spitting, For my Lord Jehovah is my helper; so that I am not confounded. Therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. [Sidenote: Isa. 50:5, 9] He is near who justifieth me, who will contend with me? let us stand up together! Who is the adversary to oppose my cause? let him draw near to me! Behold the Lord Jehovah is my helper; who is he that can harm me? Lo, they shall all fall to pieces like a garment, the moth shall consume them. [Sidenote: Isa. 50:10] Who among you feareth Jehovah, let him hearken to the voice of his servant? Who walked in darkness, having no light, Let him trust in the name of Jehovah and rely on his God? [Sidenote: Isa. 52:13-18] Behold, my servant shall prosper, He shall be raised up and highly exalted. Even as many were appalled at him, So shall many nations tremble, Kings will close their mouths before him, When what has not been told them they see, And what they have not heard they perceive. [Sidenote: Isa. 53:1-2b] Who believed what has been reported to us, And to whom was Jehovah's might revealed? For he grew up before us as a young shoot, And as a root out of dry ground. [Sidenote: Isa. 53:2c-f] He had no form that we should regard him, Nor appearance that we should delight in him. His appearance was more disfigured than any man's And his form than any human being's. [Sidenote: Isa. 53:3] He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of suffering and acquainted with sickness; Like one for whom men hide their face, He was despised so that we esteemed him not. [Sidenote: Isa. 53:4] Surely our sickness he himself bore, And our sufferings--he carried them, Yet we ourselves esteemed him stricken, Smitten of God and afflicted.
