With The Wicked And Rich - Isaiah 53:8-9

Isaiah 53:8-9 ESV 

By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
And they made his grave with the wicked
and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.

He was placed among the wicked and rich, in sharp contrast to Jesus who was the exact opposite of those around Him. He who knew no shadow of darkness, who had no speck of sin soiling His garment was laid among the wicked. He had no earthly riches, yet provides all the riches of heaven and the eternal life which is His alone to share. 

There was no deceit in His mouth, for He is the way, the truth, and the life.
