"This is yet another reason why the Protestant deification of the Masoretic text is so dangerous; it's a post-Christian redaction, published by Jews who blamed the spread of Christianity for God destroying their temple, and their humiliation at the hands of the Romans."

While you may argue the merits of this on other points - the presence of the scroll of Isaiah (from which the passage in question is present) predates the Christian era by several centuries and if virtually identical to the Masoretic text that is 1000 years older. So on this point, the issue is moot.
