Isaiah 53:7-9
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)
Isaiah 53:7-9
International Standard Version
7 He was oppressed and he was afflicted,
yet he didn’t open his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
as[a] a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open[b] his mouth.
8 “From detention and[c] judgment he was taken away[d]—
and who can even think about his descendants?[e]
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
he was stricken[f] for the transgression of my people.
9 Then they made[g] his grave with the wicked,
and with rich people[h] in his death,[i]
although he had committed no violence,
nor was there any deceit in his mouth.”
