The verses around Isaiah 53:5.
3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Verse explanation
Wounded and bruised describe the chapter’s central idea: the Servant’s suffering benefits other people, carrying a weight that was not his own. Jewish readers traditionally read this figure as the people of Israel itself suffering for the nations; Christian readers read it as a reference to Jesus — the original text does not resolve this divergence.
From the Isaiah 53 study in Bible in Stories.
