Isaiah 53:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 People did not respect him.
They refused to accept him.
He was a man who received much pain.
He knew what it felt like to be weak and ill.
People did not even want to look at him.
They did not respect him.
We decided that he was worth nothing.
4 But he took away all our weakness!
He carried our pain for us.
We thought that he was receiving punishment for his own sins.
We thought that God was causing him to suffer.
5 But it was our sins that caused his wounds.
The bad things that we had done crushed him.
The punishment that he received
has brought peace to us.
The wounds that he received
have made us well.
Isaiah 53:3-5
New International Version
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering,(A) and familiar with pain.(B)
Like one from whom people hide(C) their faces
he was despised,(D) and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,(E)
yet we considered him punished by God,(F)
stricken by him, and afflicted.(G)
5 But he was pierced(H) for our transgressions,(I)
he was crushed(J) for our iniquities;
the punishment(K) that brought us peace(L) was on him,
and by his wounds(M) we are healed.(N)
