Isaiah

Isaiah 53:7–10

⁷He 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 her shearers is silent,

so He did not open His mouth.

⁸By oppression and judgment He was taken away,

and who can recount His descendants?

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

He was stricken for the transgression of My people.

⁹He was assigned a grave with the wicked,

and with a rich man in His death,

although He had done no violence,

nor was any deceit in His mouth.^f

¹⁰Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him

and to cause Him to suffer;

and when His soul is made a guilt offering,^g

He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days,

and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
