The servant songs (also called the servant poems or the Songs of the Suffering Servant) are four songs in the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible, which include Isaiah 42:1–4; Isaiah 49:1–6; Isaiah 50:4–11; and Isaiah 52:13–53:12. The songs are four poems written about a certain "servant of YHWH" (Hebrew: עבד יהוה, ‘eḇeḏ ...
Duhm originated the concept of the Servant songs in the Book of Isaiah, identifying four of them in Isaiah's text; Isaiah 42:1-4; Isaiah 49:1-6; Isaiah 50:4-7; and Isaiah 52:13-53:12. [1] Joseph Blenkinsopp summarizes Duhm's theories of the servant songs and their reception in modern academia;
A very influential portion of Isaiah was the four so-called Songs of the Suffering Servant from Isaiah 42, 49, 50 and 52, in which God calls upon his servant to lead the nations (the servant is horribly abused, sacrifices himself in accepting the punishment due others, and is finally rewarded).
Isaiah 52:13–53:12 makes up the fourth of the "Servant Songs" of the Book of Isaiah, describing a "servant" of God who is abused but eventually vindicated. [2] Major themes of the passage include: Human opposition to God's purposes for the servant. The servant has an exalted status in the eyes of God, but people despise him and consider him ...
Isaiah 42:1–9; Isaiah 49:1–12; Isaiah 50:4–9; Isaiah 52 –53; The third of the "servant songs" begins at Isaiah 50:4, continuing through 50:11. The Jerusalem Bible divides it into two sections: Isaiah 50:4-9: The servant speaks; Isaiah 50:10-11: Exhortation to follow the servant. [7] This song has a darker yet more confident tone than ...

Matthew states that Jesus' withdrawal from the cities of Galilee and his request that the crowds not make him known [3] is a fulfillment of the first Servant Song of the prophet Isaiah. The verses quoted from Isaiah are from the Septuagint version of Isaiah 42:1–4. [4] One difference from the Hebrew version is found in verse 21 (Isaiah 42:4).
Deutero-Isaiah differs from Proto-Isaiah in that it refers to Israel as already restored, which could account for the past-tense of the passage. The Servant passages in Isaiah, and especially Isaiah 53, may be compared with Psalm 44. Psalm 44 directly parallels the Servant Songs, making it, probably, the best defense for reading Isaiah 53 as ...
