Isaiah 53:6–9

6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,

Each of us has turned to his own way;

But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all

To 1fall on Him.

7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,

Yet He did not aopen His mouth;

bLike a lamb that is led to slaughter,

And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,

So He did not open His mouth.

8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;

And as for His generation, who considered

That He was cut off out of the land of the 1living

aFor the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?

9 His grave was assigned with wicked men,

Yet He was with a arich man in His death,

bBecause He had cdone no violence,

Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

Isaiah 53:6–9 — The New International Version (NIV)

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.

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.

By oppression and judgment he was taken away.

Yet who of his generation protested?

For he was cut off from the land of the living;

for the transgression of my people he was punished.

He was assigned a grave with the wicked,

and with the rich in his death,

though he had done no violence,

nor was any deceit in his mouth.

the iniquity of us all.

yet he opened not his mouth;

like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,

and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,

so he opened not his mouth.

By oppression and judgment he was taken away;

and as for his generation, who considered

that he was cut off out of the land of the living,

stricken for the transgression of my people?

And they made his grave with the wicked

and with a rich man in his death,

although he had done no violence,

and there was no deceit in his mouth.

Yet he opened not his mouth:

He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,

And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,

So he openeth not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment:

And who shall declare his generation?

For he was cut off out of the land of the living:

For the transgression of my people was he stricken.

And he made his grave with the wicked,

And with the rich in his death;

Because he had done no violence,

Neither was any deceit in his mouth.

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.

We have left God’s paths to follow our own.

the sins of us all.

yet he never said a word.

He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.

And as a sheep is silent before the shearers,

he did not open his mouth.

Unjustly condemned,

he was led away.

No one cared that he died without descendants,

that his life was cut short in midstream.

But he was struck down

for the rebellion of my people.

He had done no wrong

and had never deceived anyone.

But he was buried like a criminal;

he was put in a rich man’s grave.

And who will declare His generation?

For He was cut off from the land of the living;

For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.

But with the rich at His death,

Because He had done no violence,

Nor was any deceit in His mouth.

he never opened his mouth.

Men took him away roughly and unfairly.

he was punished for the sins of my people.

He was buried with wicked men,

and he died with the rich.

He had done nothing wrong,

and he had never lied.

when its wool is cut off.

from the world? 

He was killed because of my people’s rebellion. 

He was placed in a tomb with the wicked. 

He was put there with the rich when he died, 

although he had done nothing violent 

and had never spoken a lie.

so he did not open his mouth.

By a perversion of justice he was taken away.

Who could have imagined his future?

stricken for the transgression of my people.

They made his grave with the wicked

and his tomb with the rich,

although he had done no violence,

and there was no deceit in his mouth.

yet he did not open his mouth;

he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter,

and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers,

For he was cut off from the land of the living;

he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.

although he had done no violence,

and there was no deceit in his mouth.

Isaiah 53:6–9 — New International Reader’s Version (1998) (NIrV)

All of us are like sheep. We have wandered away from God.

All of us have turned to our own way.

And the Lord has placed on his servant

the sins of all of us.

He was beaten down and made to suffer.

But he didn’t open his mouth.

He was led away like a sheep to be killed.

Lambs are silent while their wool is being cut off.

In the same way, he didn’t open his mouth.

He was arrested and sentenced to death.

Then he was taken away.

He was cut off from this life.

He was punished for the sins of my people.

Who among those who were living at that time

could have understood those things?

He was given a grave with those who were evil.

But his body was buried in the tomb of a rich man.

He was killed even though he hadn’t harmed anyone.

And he had never lied to anyone.
