God's Word Translation

Isaiah 53:8-12 God's Word Translation (GW)

8. He was arrested, taken away, and judged.Who would have thought that he would be removedfrom the world?He was killed because of my people’s rebellion.

9. He was placed in a tomb with the wicked.He was put there with the rich when he died,although he had done nothing violentand had never spoken a lie.

10. Yet, it was the Lord’s will to crush him with suffering.When the Lord has made his life a sacrifice for our wrongdoings,he will see his descendants for many days.The will of the Lord will succeed through him.

11. He will see and be satisfiedbecause of his suffering.My righteous servant will acquit many peoplebecause of what he has learned ⌊through suffering⌋.He will carry their sins as a burden.

12. So I will give him a share among the mighty,and he will divide the prize with the strong,because he poured out his life in deathand he was counted with sinners.He carried the sins of many.He intercedes for those who are rebellious.
