53:1 Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they commit abominable acts; there is no one who does good. 53:2 God looks down from heaven on humankind to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God. 53:3 They have all fallen away, they are all alike perverse; there is no one who does good, no, not one. 53:4 Have they no knowledge, those evildoers, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God? 53:5 There they shall be in great terror, in terror such as has not been. For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly; they will be put to shame, for God has rejected them. 53:6 O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad. 53:7
