3. He was despised and avoided by others;a man who suffered, who knew sickness well.Like someone from whom people hid their faces,he was despised, and we didn’t think about him.
4. It was certainly our sickness that he carried,and our sufferings that he bore,but we thought him afflicted,struck down by God and tormented.
5. He was pierced because of our rebellionsand crushed because of our crimes.He bore the punishment that made us whole;by his wounds we are healed.
6. Like sheep we had all wandered away,each going its own way,but the Lord let fall on him all our crimes.
7. He was oppressed and tormented,but didn’t open his mouth.Like a lamb being brought to slaughter,like a ewe silent before her shearers,he didn’t open his mouth.
8. Due to an unjust ruling he was taken away,and his fate—who will think about it?He was eliminated from the land of the living,struck dead because of my people’s rebellion.
