3 For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.
3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
3 For thus says the Lord, “You were (H)sold for nothing and you will be (I)redeemed (J)without money.”
3 For this is what the Lord says:“You were sold for nothing,and you will be redeemed without silver.”(D)
3 For this is what the LORD says: "You were sold for nothing, and you'll be redeemed without money."
4 For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.
4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
4 For thus says the Lord (a)God, “My people (K)went down at the first into Egypt to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
4 For this is what the Lord God says:“At first My people went down to Egypt to live there,(E)then Assyria oppressed them without cause.(b)
4 For this is what the LORD says: "My people went down long ago into Egypt to live there; the Assyrian, too, has oppressed them without cause.
5 Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
5 Now therefore, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without cause?” Again the Lord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My (L)name is continually blasphemed all day long.
5 So now what have I here”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“that My people are taken away for nothing?Its rulers wail”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“and My name is continually blasphemed all day long.(F)
5 "Now therefore, what am I doing here," asks the LORD, "seeing that my people are taken away without cause? Those who rule over them are deluded," says the LORD, "and continuously, all the day long, my name is blasphemed.
6 For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
6 Therefore My people shall (M)know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”
6 Therefore My people will know My name;(G)therefore they will know on that daythat I am He who says:Here I am.”
6 Therefore my people will know my name; in that day they'll know that it is I who speaks, "Here I am!'
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!

The Servant's Suffering And Exaltation
14 As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
14 Just as many were astonished at you, My people,So His (AD)appearance was marred more than any manAnd His form more than the sons of men.
14 Just as many were appalled at You(e)—His appearance was so disfiguredthat He did not look like a man,and His form did not resemble a human being—
14 Just as many were astonished at you so was he marred in his appearance, more than any human, and his form beyond that of human semblance
