Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 53:6

_ _ Penitent confession of believers and of Israel in the last days (Zechariah 12:10).

_ _ sheep ... astray — (Psalms 119:176; 1 Peter 2:25). The antithesis is, “In ourselves we were scattered; in Christ we are collected together; by nature we wander, driven headlong to destruction; in Christ we find the way to the gate of life” [Calvin]. True, also, literally of Israel before its coming restoration (Ezekiel 34:5, Ezekiel 34:6; Zechariah 10:2, Zechariah 10:6; compare with Ezekiel 34:23, Ezekiel 34:24; Jeremiah 23:4, Jeremiah 23:5; also Matthew 9:36).

_ _ laid — “hath made to light on Him” [Lowth]. Rather, “hath made to rush upon Him” [Maurer].

_ _ the iniquity — that is, its penalty; or rather, as in 2 Corinthians 5:21; He was not merely a sin offering (which would destroy the antithesis to “righteousness”), but “sin for us”; sin itself vicariously; the representative of the aggregate sin of all mankind; not sins in the plural, for the “sin” of the world is one (Romans 5:16, Romans 5:17); thus we are made not merely righteous, but righteousness, even “the righteousness of God.” The innocent was punished as if guilty, that the guilty might be rewarded as if innocent. This verse could be said of no mere martyr.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 53:4-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 53:6

We — All mankind. Astray — From God. Have turned — In general, to the way of sin, which may well be called a man's own way, because sin is natural to us, inherent in us, born with us; and in particular, to those several paths, which several men chuse, according to their different opinions, and circumstances. Hath laid — Heb. hath made to meet, as all the rivers meet in the sea. The iniquity — Not properly, for he knew no sin; but the punishment of iniquity, as that word is frequently used. That which was due for all the sins of all mankind, which must needs be so heavy a load, that if he had not been God as well as man, he must have sunk under the burden.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 53:6

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the (i) iniquity of us all.

(i) Meaning, the punishment of our iniquity, and not the fault itself.
