Isaiah 53:6-12
English Standard Version
6 (A)All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
(B)and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
(C)yet he opened not his mouth;
(D)like a (E)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, (F)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
(G)and with a rich man in his death,
although[a] (H)he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet (I)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;[b]
(J)when his soul makes[c] an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
(K)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see[d] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall (L)the righteous one, my servant,
(M)make many to be accounted righteous,
(N)and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 (O)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,[e]
(P)and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,[f]
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
(Q)yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
