Isaiah 53:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 (A) All of us were like sheep
that had wandered off.
We had each gone our own way,
but the Lord gave him
the punishment we deserved.
7 (B)(C) (D) He was painfully abused,
but he did not complain.
He was silent like a lamb
being led to the butcher,
as quiet as a sheep
having its wool cut off.
8 He was condemned to death
without a fair trial.
Who could have imagined
what would happen to him?
His life was taken away
because of the sinful things
my people[a] had done.

Isaiah 53:6-8
New International Version
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(A)
each of us has turned to our own way;(B)
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity(C) of us all.
7 He was oppressed(D) and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;(E)
he was led like a lamb(F) to the slaughter,(G)
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment(H) he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(I)
for the transgression(J) of my people he was punished.[b]
