4
Surely our (a)griefs He Himself (A)bore,
And our (b)sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
(c)Smitten of (B)God, and afflicted.
5
But He was (d)pierced through for (C)our transgressions,
He was crushed for (D)our iniquities;
The (E)chastening for our (e)well-being fell upon Him,
And by (F)His scourging we are healed.
6
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To (f)fall on Him.
7
He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not (G)open His mouth;
(H)Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8
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 (g)living
(I)For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9
His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a (J)rich man in His death,
(K)Because He had (L)done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10
But the Lord was pleased
To (M)crush Him, (h)(N)putting Him to grief;
If (i)He would render Himself as a guilt (O)offering,
He will see (P)His (j)offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the (k)good (Q)pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
