a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity;
and as one from whom others hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him of no account. - But he was wounded for our transgressions,
crushed for our iniquities;

and by his bruises we are healed. - The Lord is with you, while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
- If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

nor did their own arm give them victory;

and the light of your countenance,
for you delighted in them. - “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.
