  1. Ezekiel 4:4 Or upon your side

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

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.

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.
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]
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(K)
    and with the rich(L) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(M)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.(N)

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(O) to crush(P) him and cause him to suffer,(Q)
    and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,(R)
he will see his offspring(S) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper(T) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(U)
    he will see the light(V) of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant(W) will justify(X) many,
