Isaiah 53:3-7 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

3. He was hated and rejected;his life was filled with sorrowand terrible suffering.No one wanted to look at him.We despised him and said,“He is a nobody!”

4. He suffered and enduredgreat pain for us,but we thought his sufferingwas punishment from God.

5. He was wounded and crushedbecause of our sins;by taking our punishment,he made us completely well.

6. All of us were like sheepthat had wandered off.We had each gone our own way,but the Lord gave himthe punishment we deserved.

7. He was painfully abused,but he did not complain.He was silent like a lambbeing led to the butcher,as quiet as a sheephaving its wool cut off.
