Good News Translation (US Version)

People passing by shook their heads and hurled insults at Jesus:

See the chapter Copy

When people see me, they laugh at me; they shake their heads in scorn.

“Look at me!” she cries to everyone who passes by. “No one has ever had pain like mine, Pain that the Lord brought on me in the time of his anger.

Wicked people and liars have attacked me. They tell lies about me,

Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I had hoped for sympathy, but there was none; for comfort, but I found none.

All my bones can be seen. My enemies look at me and stare.

If you were in my place and I in yours, I could say everything you are saying. I could shake my head wisely and drown you with a flood of words.

the Lord had said, “The city of Jerusalem laughs at you, Sennacherib, and makes fun of you.

Then they crucified two bandits with Jesus, one on his right and the other on his left.

And they said many other insulting things to him.

Because God has made me weak and helpless, they turn against me with all their fury.
