Come, all you who pass by the way, look and see whether there is any suffering like my suffering, which has been dealt me when the Lord afflicted me on the day of his blazing wrath.  From on high he sent fire down into my very frame; He spread a net for my feet, and overthrew me.  He left me desolate, in pain all the day.  Give heed to my groaning; there is no one to console me.  All my enemies rejoice at my misfortune; it is you who have wrought it.  Bring on the day you have proclaimed, that they may be even as I.  Let all their evil come before you; deal with them as you have dealt with me for all my sins; my groans are many, and I am sick at heart.

Jesus, you are dying on the cross, immersed in atrocious pain.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me, far from my prayer, from the words of my cry?   I am like water poured out; all my bones are racked.  My heart has become like wax melting away within my bosom.  My throat is dried up like baked clay, my tongue cleaves to my jaws; to the dust of death you have brought me down.  Indeed, many dogs surround me, a pack of evildoers closes in upon me: they have pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones.  They look on and gloat over me.

Jesus, your friends put you in the tomb.
A grace was assigned him among the wicked and a burial place with evildoers, though he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood.  But the Lord was pleased to crush him in infirmity.  If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the Lord shall be accomplished through him.  Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days; through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.  Therefore, I will give him his portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty.   Because he surrendered himself to death and was counted among the wiched; and he shall take away the sins of many, and win pardon for their offenses.
Is 53:9-12
