a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. - Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,

he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
