Heb. was the stroke upon him.
 If we turn to Acts 8:26-40, we find that the Ethiopian had in his reading of Isaiah reached exactly this point when Philip intercepted him in his chariot. He was doubtless reading from the Septuagint version in Greek, which renders it “in His humiliation His judgment was taken away”. It was so indeed, for the trial of our Lord, resulting in His condemnation and crucifixion, was the most atrocious miscarriage of justice the world has ever seen. A legal expert has surveyed the evidence of the Gospels, and stated that every step taken by His accusers and judges, whether Jews or Gentiles, was irregular and unjust. (Isaiah 53 by F.B. Hole)
 As the Ethiopian read it, “His life is taken from the earth”. Hence the prophet says, “Who shall declare His generation?” and to this question men would unanimously reply that, His life being taken, no generation was possible. When we reach verse 10 of our chapter we shall find the answer which Jehovah gives to this question. (Isaiah 53 by F.B. Hole)
