kings shall shut their mouths at him J;
for that which had not been told
them shall they see ], and that which
they had not heard shall they con-
slider. Who hath believed our re-
port? And to whom is the arm Of
the Lord revealed2 For he shall grow
|up before him as q tender plant and
as a root out of dry ground he
hath no form nor oomeliness; and
when we shall see him there ia NJ
beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected Of men ;
a man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief: and we hid, as it were
our faces from him; he was de-
spised and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs and
carried our sorrows; yet we did es-
teen him stricken, smitten Of God
and afflicted. But he was wounded
for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities; the chastisement
of our peace was upon him, and
with his stripes we are healed. All
we, like sheep, have gone astray /;
we have turned everyone to his own
way, and the Lord hath laid upon
him tho iniquity of us all. He was
oppressed and he was afflicted, yet
he opened not his mouth; he is
brought as lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, Sc he oponcth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and fre.n
judgment; and who shall declare his
generation? for he was cut off out
of the land of the living for the
transgression of my people was he,
stricken; and he made his grave
with the wicked and with the rich in
his death; because he had done no
violence, neither was any deceit in
his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord
to bruise him he hath put him to
grief; when thou shalt make his
soul an offering for sin, he shall pro-
long his days, and the pleasure Of
the Lord shall prosper in his hand
He shall see of the travail of his soul
and shall be satisfied; by his know
ledge shall my righteous servant
justify many; for he shall boar theil
iniquities. Therefore will divide
him portion with the great and he
i shall divide tho spoil with the strong
because he hath poured out his SOU
unto death and he was numbered
with the transgressors; and he bare
the sin of many and make interces-
sion for the transgrossors."
And Zechariah XII, 12, 13: eff ye
think good, give me my price; and
if not, forbear. So they weighed fol
my price thirty pieces of silver. And
the Lord said unto me, cast it unto
the potter; q goodly price that ]
was priced at of them. And I took
the thirty pieces Of silver and cast
them to the potter in the house Of
Lord"
And Ezekiel xxxiv, 22-24 sThere-
fore will save my flock and the,
shall no more be prey. ** ~

hundred years when this last prophe

appears that Christian interpreter
have correctly considered it prope,
to read many expressions of, and il
