Scripture Verse: Isaiah 53:5-6 (NASB 1995):
“But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.”
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.”
