"IN HUMILIATIONHIS JUDGMENTWAS TAKENAWAY;WHOWILL RELATEHIS GENERATION?FOR HIS LIFEIS REMOVEDFROM THE EARTH."
"As Godlives,who has takenawaymy right,And the Almighty,who has embitteredmy soul,
"For Jobhas said,I am righteous,But Godhas takenawaymy right;
My strengthis driedup like a potsherd,And my tonguecleavesto my jaws;And You layme in the dustof death.
Posteritywill serveHim; It will be toldof the Lordto the [coming] generation.
So as to deprivethe needyof justiceAnd robthe poorof My peopleof [their] rights,So that widowsmay be their spoilAnd that they may plunderthe orphans.
Who justifythe wickedfor a bribe,And takeawaythe rightsof the ones whoare in the right!
But the LORDwas pleasedTo crushHim, putting[Him] to grief;IfHe would renderHimself[as] a guiltoffering,He will see[His] offspring,He will prolong[His] days,And the goodpleasureof the LORDwill prosperin His hand.
Therefore,I will allotHim a portionwith the great,And He will dividethe bootywith the strong;BecauseHe pouredout Himselfto death,And was numberedwith the transgressors;Yet He Himselfborethe sinof many,And intercededfor the transgressors.
He was oppressedand He was afflicted,Yet He did not openHis mouth;Like a lambthat is ledto slaughter,And like a sheepthat is silentbeforeits shearers,So He did not openHis mouth.
By oppressionand judgmentHe was takenaway; And as for His generation,whoconsideredThat He was cutoffout of the landof the livingFor the transgressionof my people,to whom the stroke[was due]?
"Then afterthe sixty-twoweeksthe Messiahwill be cutoffand havenothing,and the peopleof the princewho is to comewill destroythe cityand the sanctuary.And its end[will come] with a flood;even to the endthere will be war;desolationsare determined.
Thereforethe lawis ignoredAnd justiceis neverupheld.For the wickedsurroundthe righteous;Thereforejusticecomesout perverted.
"Awake,O sword,againstMy Shepherd,And againstthe man,My Associate,"Declaresthe LORDof hosts."Strikethe Shepherdthat the sheepmay be scattered;And I will turnMy handagainstthe littleones.
