Isaiah 53:4

Context

53:4 But he lifted up our illnesses,

he carried our pain; 1 

even though we thought he was being punished,

attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done. 2 

Isaiah 54:11

Context

54:11 “O afflicted one, driven away, 3  and unconsoled!

Look, I am about to set your stones in antimony

and I lay your foundation with lapis-lazuli.

1 sn Illness and pain stand by metonymy (or perhaps as metaphors) for sin and its effects, as vv. 11-12 make clear.

2 tn The words “for something he had done” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The group now realizes he suffered because of his identification with them, not simply because he was a special target of divine anger.

3 tn Or, more literally, “windblown, storm tossed.”
