Translation Note
The servant of the LORD is introduced here. The King James says he “shall deal prudently” and “be very high.” The 1917 Jewish Publication Society says “My servant shall prosper” and “shall be very high.” Brenton says he “shall understand, and be exalted, and glorified exceedingly.”
The Jewish Publication Society reads a servant who prospers. Christians read the same servant as Jesus, exalted after the suffering in the next chapter. The servant is the Son, and the Son is God.
