Isaiah 53:7-9

Contemporary English Version

^{7 (A)(B) (C)} He was painfully abused,
    but he did not complain.
He was silent like a lamb
    being led to the butcher,
as quiet as a sheep
    having its wool cut off.

⁸ He was condemned to death
    without a fair trial.
Who could have imagined
    what would happen to him?
His life was taken away
because of the sinful things
    my people^[a] had done.
^9 (D) He wasn't dishonest or violent,
but he was buried in a tomb
    among cruel, rich people.^[b]
