2 2. Memory Verses - chapter 53 (12 points) 1 2 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 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 despised, and we esteemed him not Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem 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 every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from 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 see his seed, he shall prolong 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 knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. 3. Briefly explain 10 of these [12] verses (2 points each) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. A call to repentance; an invitation by God to come and obey His word Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. Statement of principle: the righteous will be blessed, the wicked will be punished To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. The right source for answers; it is God s Word and nothing else

3 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? That which God predicts will come to pass Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. The Solid Rock; God is the only source of true peace LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. Prayer of Hope - In great pain Israel cries out to God - pain pictured as a woman in labor Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. God is the sure foundation - God is the cornerstone by which they need to align And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. The Highway of Holiness - obstacles are removed making it a straight path; it is a spiritual, characterized by holiness The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Prophecy of John the Baptist The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. God s word endures forever Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. A sarcastic comment from the prophet, do something, anything, to show that you are real Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: A call to repentance: Turn to God at the opportune time

Then said I, Here am I; send me. 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 1 Behold, the LORD S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
