All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have all turned to our own way,
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
By a perversion of justice he was taken away.
    Who could have imagined his future?
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
    stricken for the transgression of my people.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(A)
    each of us has turned to our own way;(B)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity(C) of us all.

He was oppressed(D) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;(E)
he was led like a lamb(F) to the slaughter,(G)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression[a] and judgment(H) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(I)
    for the transgression(J) of my people he was punished.[b]
