Isaiah 53:9
Compare all
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
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. 
8 He was ataken from prison and from judgment,
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. 
9 aAnd1 they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any bdeceit in His mouth. 
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to1 bruise Him;
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. 
11 1He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge aMy righteous bServant shall cjustify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities. 
12 aTherefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
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 53:9

Rather, "His grave was appointed," or "they appointed Him His grave" [HENGSTENBERG]; that is, they intended (by crucifying Him with two thieves, Matthew 27:38) that He should have His grave "with the wicked." Compare John 19:31, the denial of honorable burial being accounted a great ignominy (see on Isaiah 14:19; Jeremiah 26:23).

and with . . . rich—rather, "but He was with a rich man," etc. GESENIUS, for the parallelism to "the wicked," translates "ungodly" (the effect of riches being to make one ungodly); but the Hebrew everywhere means "rich," never by itself ungodly; the parallelism, too, is one of contrast; namely, between their design and the fact, as it was ordered by God (Matthew 27:57; Mark 15:43-46; John 19:39-40); two rich men honored Him at His death, Joseph of Arimathæa, and Nicodemus.

in his death—Hebrew, "deaths." LOWTH translates, "His tomb"; bamoth, from a different root, meaning "high places," and so mounds for sepulture (Ezekiel 43:7). But all the versions oppose this, and the Hebrew hardly admits it. Rather translate, "after His death" [HENGSTENBERG]; as we say, "at His death." The plural, "deaths," intensifies the force; as Adam by sin "dying died" (Genesis 2:17, Margin); that is, incurred death, physical and spiritual. So Messiah, His substitute, endured death in both senses; spiritual, during His temporary abandonment by the Father; physical, when He gave up the ghost.

because—rather, as the sense demands (so in Job 16:17), "although He had done no," etc. [HENGSTENBERG], (I Peter 2:20-22; I John 3:5).

violence—that is, wrong.
