Isaiah 53:5-7 (NIV) reads as follows:
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
These verses are often interpreted as a prophecy about the suffering servant, which many Christians believe refers to Jesus Christ and his sacrificial death for humanity's sins. Let me know if you would like more context or discussion about these verses!
