Isaiah 53:4-12
English Standard Version
4 (A)Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
(B)smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 (C)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
(D)and with his wounds we are healed.
6 (E)All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
(F)and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
(G)yet he opened not his mouth;
(H)like a (I)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, (J)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
(K)and with a rich man in his death,
although[a] (L)he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet (M)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;[b]
(N)when his soul makes[c] an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
(O)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 (P)the righteous one, my servant,
(Q)make many to be accounted righteous,
(R)and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 (S)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,[e]
(T)and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,[f]
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
(U)yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
