3  He was ^zdespised 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 we esteemed him not.

4  Surely ^ahe has borne our griefs

and carried our sorrows;

yet we esteemed him stricken,

smitten by God, and afflicted.

5  But he was pierced ^bfor our transgressions;

he was crushed for our iniquities;

upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

and with his wounds we are healed.

10  Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him;

he has put him to grief;¹

when his soul makes² an offering for guilt,

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

the 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 the righteous one, ^hmy servant,

ⁱmake many to be accounted righteous,

and he shall ^jbear their iniquities.
