Isaiah 53:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 53:9-11
Contemporary English Version
10 The Lord decided his servant
would suffer as a sacrifice
to take away the sin
and guilt of others.
Now the servant will live
to see his own descendants.[b]
He did everything
the Lord had planned.
11 By suffering, the servant
will learn the true meaning
of obeying the Lord.
Although he is innocent,
he will take the punishment
for the sins of others,
so that many of them
will no longer be guilty.
Isaiah 53:9-11
New International Version
Isaiah 53:9-11
New International Version
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(A)
and with the rich(B) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(C)
nor was any deceit in his mouth.(D)
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(E) to crush(F) him and cause him to suffer,(G)
and though the Lord makes[a] his life an offering for sin,(H)
he will see his offspring(I) and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper(J) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(K)
he will see the light(L) of life[b] and be satisfied[c];
by his knowledge[d] my righteous servant(M) will justify(N) many,
and he will bear their iniquities.(O)
