4. But he took our suffering on himand felt our pain for us.We saw his sufferingand thought God was punishing him.
5. But he was wounded for the wrong we did;he was crushed for the evil we did.The punishment, which made us well, was given to him,and we are healed because of his wounds.
6. We all have wandered away like sheep;each of us has gone his own way.But the Lord has put on him the punishmentfor all the evil we have done.
7. He was beaten down and punished,but he didn’t say a word.He was like a lamb being led to be killed.He was quiet, as a sheep is quiet while its wool is being cut;he never opened his mouth.
8. Men took him away roughly and unfairly.He died without children to continue his family.He was put to death;he was punished for the sins of my people.
9. He was buried with wicked men,and he died with the rich.He had done nothing wrong,and he had never lied.
10. But it was the Lord who decidedto crush him and make him suffer.The Lord made his life a penalty offering,but he will still see his descendants and live a long life.He will complete the things the Lord wants him to do.
