Isaiah 53 is not about Jesus. It is about the reaction of the leaders of the nations in the Messianic Age.

(Isaiah 52 : 15) "So shall he cast down many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him, for, what had not been told them they saw, and [at] what they had not heard they gazed."
The very next verse: (Isaiah 53 : 1) "Who would have believed our report, and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?" This is the question of the "kings" from Isaiah 52.

The suffering servant is the people of Israel. (Isaiah 49 : 3) "And He said to me, 'You are My servant, Israel, about whom I will boast.'"

The correct translation does not say that the servant suffered FOR the iniquities of the nations, but rather BECAUSE of the iniquities. What were the iniquities of the nations that caused the children of Israel to suffer? 2000+ years of vicious antisemitism. Exile, crusades, inquisition, pogroms, Holocaust, etc.
In the Messianic Age the leaders of the nations will realise that because of their iniquity (hatred of Jews) the servant (Israel) suffered.

I am SO glad David called God "incomprehensibly great"! I've become very tired of people trying to fit God into some kind of a box we can wrap our heads around. The problem in this day and age is that mainstream Christianity is looking at the OT through the lens of the NT, almost to the exclusion of the OT, and the Hebrew Roots people are looking at the NT through the lens of the OT, almost to the exclusion of the NT. They're both right, and they're both wrong. The bible is valid in its entirety, without any lenses. The problem here is that we need to stop fighting each other. I have been in both camps, and both look down their noses at the other, as if one is more saved than the other. Start acting like a unified bride.

Yes, I've read Isaiah 53....have you read Isaiah 1-66?    This book is NOT about Jesus.    It's about the suffering and ultimate redemption of the SERVANT of God....ISRAEL.  That reference (Israel = the Suffering Servant) is plainly there - MANY, MANY times.  Just go read it!    Come on people....read more than just the sentences you like....think!

As most christians, David Platt is unfortunately wrong if he is interpreting Isaiah 53 as if it were pointing to the Roman-invented hero divine Jesus. I suggest you try to watch Rabbi Michael Skobac explaining this chapter of Isaiah. I'm sure you'll learn a lot and clarify your conprehension. Isaiah 53 clearly refers to the people of Israel. Stop trying to shoehorn Jesus into this and any other Tanakh portions. No offfence, you say your lord is Jesus, that's just fine, it's been your choice but you must understand that yours is a different religion that has nothing to do with the Hebrew Scriptures. The fact that the Romans utilized the Tanakh to attempt to give some validity to their N.T. by putting the 2 sets of books together is of no importance. When you read the Tanakh without a predetermined christian mindset, it will clearly show that these Scriptures do not relate to the NT. If you had been instructed in the Tanakh first, you wouldn't've found any link to the NT. But I may assume it was the other way around. May HaShem bless you all. (by the way, I spend more than 20 years in evangelism, so I very well know your confusions, I went thru that myself). Let's laud our God, the Creator, the Only God. Shalom!

The reading from "the knowledge of the holy" by Tozer was really great and humbling.  and unfortunately... so true... Very good.   I think these passages need to be tied together more than usual,  but also add Isaiah 57  I'm trying to write a poem related to this
   

A humble glory: holy, high and lifted up 
( passages from and around Isaiah 6, 53, 57 )

part 1 The year King Uzziah died (Isaiah 6)
Gloriously seated
A vision of the Lord enthroned high and lifted up filling His temple with his train
His glorious train fills the temple indeed the whole earth is filed with his glory 
I saw, I spoke 
Angels speak of it but don't dare to look 
I, though though dean of all prophets, had a mouth too impure to carry his words 
I have met my end
My heart shook, the door post of entry to the King shook
A prophet's mouth pronounces doom on himself
A prophet's mouth cleansed but by painful and burning coals
A hardness starts 
A stump left 

Part 2  The year the King of Kings died (Isaiah 52-53 )
Unseated with a glory hidden
A vision of the Lord now as servant, high and lifted up not on a throne but 
His glory Men can't see
The worth of this person obscured more than all others
Not a problem of one prophet's mouth, but King's mouths are shut 
Not a cleansing of one prophets mouth but nations sprinkled and cleansed
A hardness melts A reed out of dry ground grows
Rejected, suffered, died, overcoming death, 
he took the pain of the burning coals from the alter,  
he paid the price of the burning coals from the alter,  
not just for Isaiah tongue,  but every tongue. Paid in full. 
not just for the cleansing of a prophets mouth, but for the cleansing of nations. 
He was bowed down under their load  but He was raised 
His soul an offering for sin Doorposts of the church of the firstborn ones now painted with the blood of the lamb.The strong conquered. Spoils taken 
All men shall see the salvation of God   

part 3  The King of Kings living no more to die (Isaiah 57)
Gloriously dwelling
A vision of the Lord, high and lifted up, who lives forever, the holy one.
The Lord is high and lifted up and dwells with the lowly and contrite
filling and touches everything and everyone in His temple
With humble glory the high dwelling with the low
With humble glory the holy breathing hope to the heart broken
Their ways have met  They were crushed,  but so was He, now together with healing, leading, restoring  
In humbling, they were healed.  In crushing they were cured.
You were told to write reminders  upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates 
but behind those doors posts, hidden idols of the heart  
And if God's holiness would shake the  door posts of his temple so will your idols of the heart be shaken 
But now, out of the mouth will comes that which fills the heart 
Lips once impure flow with praise to the one always pure
Praise created in  Mouths shut no longer fit for the King's use 
" by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name."  Heb (13:15)
Reflecting on and becoming a reflection of the one that angels don't dare to gaze 
Peace, peace, double strength and real,  for those near and far  "he came and   preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. (Eph 2:17)
Blessed is the peacemaker for He shall be called the Son of God, 

Be reminded “Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength
