He was pierced: See also Zechariah 12:10.
crushed … punishment … stripes: These were typical punishments for crimes. Sin is a crime against God.
brought us peace: The Hebrew word shalom is usually translated as "peace." Shalom means experiencing wholeness in body, mind, and relationships with others. The servant would be injured so humanity can be whole and healthy in all aspects of life (see also Isaiah 57:18). We do not need to suffer divine punishment for our sins because the servant has already done so (see Galatians 1:4).
