We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord1 has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Yet aHe opened not His mouth;
bHe was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
And who will declare His generation?
For bHe was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any bdeceit in His mouth.
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul aan offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
By His knowledge aMy righteous bServant shall cjustify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
bAnd He shall divide the1 spoil with the strong,
Because He cpoured out His soul unto death,
And He was dnumbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And emade intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53:8
Taken away - Out of this life. By distress and judgment - By oppression and violence. and a pretence of justice. His generation - His posterity. For his death shall not be unfruitful; when he is raised from the dead, he shall have a spiritual seed, a numberless multitude of those who shall believe in him. Cut off - By a violent death. And this may be added as a reason of the blessing of a numerous posterity conferred upon him, because he was willing to be cut off for the transgression of his people.
