A:No, although references to the suffering servant are found in Isaiah 42:1-4, 49:1-6,50:4-11, 52:13-53:12. They were not written by Isaiah, son of Amoz, the earlier prophet after whom the book is named, because chapters 40-55 of the Book of Isaiah record the Words of an anonymous sixth century BCE prophet living in exile in Babylon and now known as Second Isaiah.

In these passages, sometimes called the Servant Songs, God promises to choose a servant who will teach his true way to the nations. In some verses, the servant appears to be a person, in others a group, in some a real figure and in others imaginary. The only time the 'servant' is named, the reference is to Israel. However, Christians have seen the Servant Songs as prophecies of Jesus.
