But He was [a]pierced for (A)our offenses,
He was crushed for (B)our wrongdoings;
The (C)punishment for our [b]well-being was laid upon Him,
And by (D)His wounds we are healed.
All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all
To [c]fall on Him.

He was oppressed and afflicted,
Yet He did not (E)open His mouth;
(F)Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off from the land of the [d]living
(G)For the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?
And His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a (H)rich man in His death,
(I)Because He had (J)done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

10 But the Lord desired
To (K)crush Him, [e](L)causing Him grief;
If He renders [f]Himself as a guilt (M)offering,
He will see (N)His [g]offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the [h]good (O)pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
