4 He certainly has taken upon himself our sufferingand carried our sorrows,but we thought that God had wounded him,beat him, and punished him.
5 He was wounded for our rebellious acts.He was crushed for our sins.He was punished so that we could have peace,and we received healing from his wounds.
6 We have all strayed like sheep.Each one of us has turned to go his own way,and the Lord has laid all our sins on him.
7 He was abused and punished,but he didn’t open his mouth.He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.He was like a sheep that is silentwhen its wool is cut off.He didn’t open his mouth.
8 He was arrested, taken away, and judged.Who would have thought that he would be removedfrom the world?He was killed because of my people’s rebellion.
9 He was placed in a tomb with the wicked.He was put there with the rich when he died,although he had done nothing violentand had never spoken a lie.
10 Yet, it was the Lord’s will to crush him with suffering.When the Lord has made his life a sacrifice for our wrongdoings,he will see his descendants for many days.The will of the Lord will succeed through him.
