Context of Isaiah 53:9

7People were cruel to him, and he received much pain. But he did not say anything to complain. He was like a lamb that people were leading away to kill. He was like a sheep when they are cutting off its wool, but it makes no noise. In the same way, he did not say anything. 8They spoke lies to accuse him in court. Then they led him away to kill him. And nobody at that time said that it was wrong. His life in this world quickly came to an end. And it was the sins of our own people that caused him to die. They decided to bury him with wicked people. But his body was put in a rich man's grave. He had not done anything to hurt anyone. He had not told lies to deceive people. 10But it was the Lord who chose to hurt his servant. He caused his servant to receive much pain. His servant died to remove people's guilt. As a result, God will bless him with many descendants, and he will have a long life. What the Lord wants will happen, because of what his servant does. 11When God's servant sees the result of his pain, he will understand what he has done. And he will be happy. The Lord says, ‘My righteous servant will cause many people to be “not guilty”, because he will take the punishment for all their sins.

Commentaries on Isaiah 53:9

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9With the rich in his death "With the rich man was his tomb" - It may be necessary to introduce Bishop Lowth's translation of this verse before we come to his very satisfactory criticisms: - And his grave was appointed with the wicked; But with the rich man was his tomb: Although he had done no wrong, Neither was there any guile in his mouth. Among the various opinions which have been given on this passage, I have no doubt in giving my assent to that which…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9And he made his grave with the wicked - Jerome renders this, Et dabit impios pro sepultura et divitem pro morte sua. The Septuagint renders it, I will give the wicked instead of his burial ( ̓̀ ͂ ͂ anti tēs taphēs ), and the rich in the place, or instead of his death‘ ( ̓̀ ͂ ́ anti tou thanatou ). The Chaldee renders it, He will deliver the wicked into Gehenna, and the rich in substance who oppress, by a death that is destructive, that the workers of…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 4-9Verses 4-9 In these verses is an account of the sufferings of Christ; also of the design of his sufferings. It was for our sins, and in our stead, that our Lord Jesus suffered. We have all sinned, and have come short of the glory of God. Sinners have their beloved sin, their own evil way, of which they are fond. Our sins deserve all griefs and sorrows, even the most severe. We are saved from the ruin, to which by sin we become liable, by laying our sins…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9no violence, nor was any deceit: See 1 Peter 2:21–25. with a rich man in His death (see Matthew 27:57–61): Although the Bible often views riches as a blessing from God, it frequently condemns the rich as dishonest and oppressive. The point here might be ironic: This good man would be buried with oppressors.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 99. Rather, "His grave was appointed," or "they appointed Him His grave" [Hengstenberg]; that is, they intended (by crucifying Him with two thieves, Mt 27:38) that He should have His grave "with the wicked." Compare Joh 19:31, the denial of honorable burial being accounted a great ignominy (see on Is 14:19; Jr 26:23). and with ... rich--rather, "but He was with a rich man," &c.
