3 He was despised, and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and familiar with illness; and as one from whom people hide their face. He was despised, and we did not value him. 4 Surely he bore our diseases, and took our pains; yet we considered him stricken, and struck down by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, and he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. 6 We all like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth. Isaiah 53:3-7, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
