He shall prolong his days ...

His days?
"Take me not away in the midst of my days".

His days?
"Whose goings forth are of old,
From days of eternity".

His days?
"He shall prolong his days."

He shall see a seed ...

Penicuik House Estate: the low pond

Risen
He saw Mary
A first seed.

Risen He saw
Mary and the other Mary
Doing homage.

Risen
He saw two strayers
And they saw Him.

Risen
He saw the eleven,
The twelve.

Risen
He saw five hundred at once:
"He shall see a seed".

When thou shalt make his soul ....

He bore in His body the sins
Of trusters in Him
Upon the cross.

His spirit He commended
In dying
To the Father; after

God made His soul
An offering for sin.

It pleased Jehovah to bruise him ...

Yet, cost what it did,
To secure divine counsels
It pleased Jehovah to bruise Him;

He, cost what it might,
To secure my salvation,
Hath subjected Him to suffering.

But he was with the rich ...

Satan will bludgeon
Or net.

The world, his princedom,
Cudgels or traps.

Christ did no violence; spoke
No guile.

God intervened to give
A grave with the rich.

And men appointed his grave with the wicked ...

With what indifference
Did men appoint the grave
Of the Son of God
With the wicked?

With what ignorance
Did men appoint the grave 
Of the Righteous One
With the wicked?

With what malice
Did men appoint
The grave of the Son of man
With the wicked?

But what attention,
And knowledge, and affection
God ensured His Son
Was with the rich in His death.

For the transgression ...

For the transgression ...
A course of activity flowing
From the Red Sea to the cross ...

Of my people ...
Those with whom Isaiah
Identified himself; yet can I,
Hearer of his gospel,
Identify with him?

... Was He, the patient Victim,
Stricken.

For he was cut off out of ...

He who saw Jehovah's goodness
In the land of the living;

Who had walked with Jehovah
In the land of the living;

Who said, Thou art my refuge ...
In the land of the living;

Was cut of out of
The land of the living.
