NASB | Isaiah 53:6 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. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 53:6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, We have turned, each one, to his own way; But the LORD has caused the wickedness of us all [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing] To fall on Him [instead of us]. [1 Pet 2:24, 25] |
Bible Question: What does Isaiah 53:6 suggest about Henley's famous lines, "I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul"? In the phrase "To fall on Him" to whom does "Him" refer? |
Bible Answer: Hank, this IS my favorite verse! In light of Isaiah 53:6, Henley has 'gone astray' and 'turned to his own way' and needs to come to a realization that his iniquity has been paid for by Jesus Christ. In this verse (my favorite!), just as the priest laid his hands on the scapegoat and symbolically put Israel's sins on it (Lev. 16:21), the Lord ("Him") bore our own iniquities on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds we are healed. (1 Peter 2:24). |
