Isaiah 53:8-11 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. He was arrested and sentenced and led off to die,and no one cared about his fate.He was put to death for the sins of our people.

9. He was placed in a grave with the wicked,he was buried with the rich,even though he had never committed a crimeor ever told a lie.”

10. The Lord says,“It was my will that he should suffer;his death was a sacrifice to bring forgiveness.And so he will see his descendants;he will live a long life,and through him my purpose will succeed.

11. After a life of suffering, he will again have joy;he will know that he did not suffer in vain.My devoted servant, with whom I am pleased,will bear the punishment of manyand for his sake I will forgive them.
