Isaiah 53:3-10

New International Version

³ He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering,^(A) and familiar with pain.^(B)
Like one from whom people hide^(C) their faces
    he was despised,^(D) and we held him in low esteem.

⁴ Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(E)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(F)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(G)
5 But he was pierced^(H) for our transgressions,^(I)
    he was crushed^(J) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(K) that brought us peace^(L) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(M) we are healed.^(N)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(O)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(P)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(Q) of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed^(R) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(S)
he was led like a lamb^(T) to the slaughter,^(U)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
⁸ By oppression^[a] and judgment^(V) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(W)
    for the transgression^(X) of my people he was punished.^[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,^(Y)
    and with the rich^(Z) in his death,
though he had done no violence,^(AA)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.^(AB)

¹⁰ Yet it was the Lord’s will^(AC) to crush^(AD) him and cause him to suffer,^(AE)
    and though the Lord makes^[c] his life an offering for sin,^(AF)
he will see his offspring^(AG) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(AH) in his hand.
