Transcription: Jewish scholars puzzled over these passages for centuries. What exactly did the prophet mean? Some of the servant's songs refer to the nation of Israel as a whole, but passages like this one portray the servant as a specific individual, a great leader who suffers terribly. Although Isaiah holds him up as the deliverer of all humankind, he resembles more a tragic figure than a hero.
