Isaiah 53:4-6

The Suffering Servant Bears Sin and Is Vindicated by the LORD

From the shock of unbelief at the LORD’s revealed arm, to the Servant’s despised appearance, to the recognition that he bore the sins and griefs of others, to his silent suffering and unjust death, to the LORD’s sin-offering purpose and vindicating reward.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

4Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.

5But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

6We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.
