Isaiah 53:4-6

He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions

4 m Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
n smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 o But he was wounded for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
p and with his stripes we are healed.
6 q All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned - every one - to his own way;
r and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
