Isaiah 53:7-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.(A)
8 By a perversion of justice he was taken away.
Who could have imagined his future?
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people.(B)
9 They made his grave with the wicked
and his tomb[a] with the rich,[b]
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.(C)
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with affliction.
When you make his life an offering for sin,[c]
he shall see his offspring and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.(D)
11 Out of his anguish he shall see;
he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.
The righteous one,[d] my servant, shall make many righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.(E)
12 Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out himself to death
and was numbered with the transgressors,
yet he bore the sin of many
and made intercession for the transgressors.(F)
