Isaiah 53:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸He was arrested and sentenced to death.
    Then he was taken away.
    He was cut off from this life.
He was punished for the sins of my people.
    Who among those who were living at that time
    tried to stop what was happening?
⁹He was given a grave with those who were evil.
    But his body was buried in the tomb of a rich man.
He was killed even though he hadn’t harmed anyone.
    And he had never lied to anyone.

¹⁰The Lord says, “It was my plan to crush him
    and cause him to suffer.
    I made his life an offering to pay for sin.
But he will see all his children after him.
    In fact, he will continue to live.
    My plan will be brought about through him.
