He was despised and rejected by others;
    a man of suffering[a] and acquainted with infirmity;
and as one from whom others hide their faces[b]
    he was despised, and we held him of no account.

    and carried our diseases;
yet we accounted him stricken,

    crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the punishment that made us whole,
    and by his bruises we are healed.
