WORDS OF LIFE

Isaiah 53

He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.

Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;

The punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;

And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He 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 its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.

— Isaiah 53:3-7
