Then the chapter keeps talking.
“The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
“It pleased the Lord to bruise him.”
“He shall bear their iniquities.”
“He bare the sin of many.”
This not the crowd. That is the prophet naming the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:21,
Galatians 3:13, and
1 Peter 2:24 say the same thing in different words. If your case is “no verse ever has God putting sin on Jesus,” those verses end the argument in one round.
הִפְגִּיעַ
hiphil perfect 3rd person masculine of form of the Qal form, PaaGa' (i.e. of strike
upon) Do some research on the sense of the Hiphil form of the Hebrew verb. It presents a
causative action, one that is not done directly by the subject but the subject has it done by an intermediary agency. There are several ways to cause something to happen through secondary agents. This verse is not saying in the Hebrew that God Himself laid/struck our sins upon Christ. It is saying that God had some other agent/s inflict our sins upon Christ.
Who are those other agents in the crucifixion story who inflicted on Him the iniquities of us all?
Does "the iniquities of us all" have to mean "all of the actual specific sins of every human being throughout history"? Or, as some would have it, all of the actual specific sins of only the saved"? Or could it mean that the iniquities that were inflicted upon Christ by those at the time were iniquities we are all in general guilty of? They were the same kinds of sins as we all commit. See Jesus explanation of murder in the Sermon on the Mount, for instance.
It pleased the Lord to bruise Him - Gesenius describes KhaaFeTs like this

The Qal is the basic form of a verb. So, God was inclined towards "to-bruise-[Christ]".
"To-bruise" is the Piel form of דָּכָא DaaKaa'. The Piel is an intensive form of the Qal. So, not just to bruise, but to bruise violently, "to-crush-Him."
The infinitive construct is often well-rendered into English as a gerund. So, we could state this as "The Lord approved of crushing Him." Or, "The Lord approved of His crushing." It need not be the Lord doing the the action of crushing. The agent can be inferred from the broader context, namely vv. 3-8 i.e. the men who rejected, despised, tortured and killed Him.
So, Christ is crushed, and the Lord is favourable toward that crushing by others because it fulfils His purpose.
“He shall bear their iniquities.” Is. 53:11
SaaBaL means to carry a heavy load. We talk about someone not being able to
bear the abuse being poured upon them and breaking under it. Others manage to
bear the abuse. When someone
bears abuse, they are not being imputed with the iniquities that their oppressor/s is/are inflicting on them. It is in this way that Jesus is likely to be
bearing our (His contemporaries) sins being executed on Him. He put up with them and was not broken by them. This is how, it seems to me, that he bore their iniquities.
“He bare the sin of many.” Is. 53:12
NaaSaa" means literally to lift. Figurative meanings include accept, able to bear, forgive, pardon, receive.
Jesus accepted being struck with men's sins, received those sins thrown at Him, was bale to bear them and forgave and pardoned them. This is how, it seems to me, that Jesus bore the sins of many.
