“But he was pierced for our transgressions.He was crushed for our iniquities.The punishment that brought our peace was on him;and by his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3He was despisedand rejected by men,a man of sufferingand acquainted with disease.He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;and we didn’t respect him. 4Surely he has borne our sicknessand carried our suffering;yet we considered him plagued,struck by God, and afflicted. 5But he was pierced for our transgressions.He was crushed for our iniquities.The punishment that brought our peace was on him;and by his wounds we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray.Everyone has turned to his own way;and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed,yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth.As a lamb that is led to the slaughter,and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent,so he didn’t open his mouth.
