But He was [a]pierced through for (A)our transgressions,
He was crushed for (B)our iniquities;
The (C)chastening for our [b]well-being fell upon Him,
And by (D)His scourging 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 iniquity of us all
To [c]fall on Him.

He was oppressed and He was 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 out of the land of the [d]living
(G)For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
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 was pleased
To (K)crush Him, [e](L)putting Him to grief;
If [f]He would render 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.
11 As a result of the [i]anguish of His soul,
He will (P)see [j]it and be satisfied;
By His (Q)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will (R)bear their iniquities.
