My son, if thou hast become surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand for a stranger,

Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; and we, we did regard him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

He was taken from oppression and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

The slain with the sword are happier than the slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
