Does Isaiah 53:6 teach unlimited atonement?

Chuck Smith applied the verse to his hearers: "God forsook His Son when your sin was placed upon Him," and "He was forsaken of God in order that you won't have to be forsaken by God." The verse begins and ends with the same word: "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6).
