Isaiah 53:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 (A)(B) (C) He was painfully abused,
but he did not complain.
He was silent like a lamb
being led to the butcher,
as quiet as a sheep
having its wool cut off.
8 He was condemned to death
without a fair trial.
Who could have imagined
what would happen to him?
His life was taken away
because of the sinful things
my people[a] had done.
9 (D) He wasn't dishonest or violent,
but he was buried in a tomb
among cruel, rich people.[b]
Isaiah 53:7-9
New International Version
7 He was oppressed(A) and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;(B)
he was led like a lamb(C) to the slaughter,(D)
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment(E) he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(F)
for the transgression(G) of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(H)
and with the rich(I) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(J)
nor was any deceit in his mouth.(K)
