Isaiah 53:8-10

Contemporary English Version

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.
^9 (A) He wasn't dishonest or violent,
but he was buried in a tomb
    among cruel, rich people.^[b]

¹⁰ The Lord decided his servant
    would suffer as a sacrifice
to take away the sin
    and guilt of others.
Now the servant will live
    to see his own descendants.^[c]
He did everything
    the Lord had planned.
