Isaiah 53:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ People were cruel to him,
    and he received much pain.
But he did not say anything to complain.
He was like a lamb that people were leading away to kill.
He was like a sheep when they are cutting off its wool,
    but it makes no noise.
In the same way, he did not say anything.
⁸ They spoke lies to accuse him in court.
    Then they led him away to kill him.
    And nobody at that time said that it was wrong.
His life in this world quickly came to an end.
    And it was the sins of our own people that caused him to die.
⁹ They decided to bury him with wicked people.
    But his body was put in a rich man's grave.
He had not done anything to hurt anyone.
    He had not told lies to deceive people.
