Isaiah 53:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ We have all turned away,
    like sheep that take the wrong path.
Each of us has turned to follow our own way.
But the Lord has taken all our sins
    and put the punishment on him.
⁷ People were cruel to him,
    and he received much pain.
But he did not say anything to complain.
He was like a lamb that people were leading away to kill.
He was like a sheep when they are cutting off its wool,
    but it makes no noise.
In the same way, he did not say anything.
⁸ They spoke lies to accuse him in court.
    Then they led him away to kill him.
    And nobody at that time said that it was wrong.
His life in this world quickly came to an end.
    And it was the sins of our own people that caused him to die.
