5 But his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did,

wounded because of our sins.

He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our souls;

and because he will be whipped, our souls can be healed.

6 All of us have gone away from God like [SIM] sheep who have strayed away from their shepherd.

We have turned away from doing the things that God wants in order to do the things that we wanted [MET].

We deserve to be punished, but Yahweh will punish him instead of punishing us for all of our sins.

7 He will be abused and caused to suffer,

but he will not say anything to complain.

They will lead him to where they will execute him,

like they lead a lamb to where it will be slaughtered.

And like a sheep does not ◄bleat/make any noise► when the shearer cuts off its wool,

he will not say anything [MTY] to defend himself when he is killed.
