Isaiah 53:7-9
Good News Translation
7 (A)“He was treated harshly, but endured it humbly;
he never said a word.
Like a lamb about to be slaughtered,
like a sheep about to be sheared,
he never said a word.
8 He was arrested and sentenced and led off to die,
and no one cared about his fate.
He was put to death for the sins of our people.
9 (B)He was placed in a grave with those who are evil,
he was buried with the rich,
even though he had never committed a crime
or ever told a lie.”
Isaiah 53:7-9
New King James Version
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet (A)He opened not His mouth;
(B)He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8 He was (C)taken from [a]prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For (D)He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
9 (E)And [b]they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any (F)deceit in His mouth.
