5. He was pierced because of our rebellionsand crushed because of our crimes.He bore the punishment that made us whole;by his wounds we are healed.
6. Like sheep we had all wandered away,each going its own way,but the Lord let fall on him all our crimes.
7. He was oppressed and tormented,but didn’t open his mouth.Like a lamb being brought to slaughter,like a ewe silent before her shearers,he didn’t open his mouth.
8. Due to an unjust ruling he was taken away,and his fate—who will think about it?He was eliminated from the land of the living,struck dead because of my people’s rebellion.
9. His grave was among the wicked,his tomb with evildoers,though he had done no violence,and had spoken nothing false.
