Isaiah 53:4

Isaiah 53:4 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

4Surely he took up our pain

and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God,

stricken by him, and afflicted.

4¶However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore,

And our pains that He carried;

Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,

Struck down by God, and humiliated.

4Surely our Or sicknessgriefs He Himself bore,

And our sorrows He carried;

Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,

Smitten of God, and afflicted.

4¶But [in fact] He has borne our griefs,

And He has carried our sorrows and pains;

Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken,

Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him]. [Matt 8:17]

4Surely He took up our infirmities

and carried our sorrows;53:4 LXX This One bears our sins and is pained for us; cited in Matthew 8:17 and 1 Peter 2:24

yet we considered Him stricken,

struck down by God, and afflicted.

4He suffered the things we should have suffered.

He took on himself the pain that should have been ours.

But we thought God was punishing him.

We thought God was wounding him and making him suffer.
