Isaiah 53:3-7

Isaiah 53:3-7

3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,

  a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.

Like one from whom people hide their faces

  he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

4 Surely he took up our pain

  and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God,

  stricken by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,

  he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

  and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

  each of us has turned to our own way;

and the Lord has laid on him

  the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,

  yet he did not open his mouth;

he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,

  and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,

  so he did not open his mouth.
