3  ^kHe was despised and rejected¹ by men,

a man of sorrows² and acquainted with³ grief;⁴

and as one from whom men hide their faces⁵

he was despised, and ^lwe esteemed him not.

4  ^mSurely he has borne our griefs

and carried our sorrows;

yet we esteemed him stricken,

ⁿsmitten by God, and afflicted.

5  ^oBut he was pierced for our transgressions;

he was crushed for our iniquities;

upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

^pand with his wounds we are healed.

10  Yet ^yit was the will of the Lord to crush him;

he has put him to grief;¹

^zwhen his soul makes² an offering for guilt,

he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;

^athe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11  Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see¹ and be satisfied;

by his knowledge shall ^bthe righteous one, my servant,

^cmake many to be accounted righteous,

^dand he shall bear their iniquities.
