Yeshayah 53:6-8
Orthodox Jewish Bible
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own derech (way; see Prov 16:25); and Hashem hath laid on him [Moshiach] the avon (iniquity, the guilt that separates from G-d) of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a seh (lamb; see Shemot 12:3) to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who of his generation declared? For he was cut off [Daniel 9:26; Vayikra 17:10] out of Eretz Chayyim [this refers to the mot of Moshiach Ben Dovid, see v.12] mipesha ami (for the transgression of my people [Yisroel]) nega (plague cf Ps 91:10) lamo ([fell] on him [i.e., Moshiach; in light of Ps 11:7 and Job 22:2 we are warranted in saying the suffix is a singular, "him," not "them". Cf Gen 9:26-27; Deut 33:2; Isa 44:15; also compare Divrey Hayamim Alef 21:17]).

Isaiah 53:6-8
New International Version
6 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.
7 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.
8 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]
