Isaiah 53:3-5
New International Version
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering,(A) and familiar with pain.(B)
Like one from whom people hide(C) their faces
he was despised,(D) and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,(E)
yet we considered him punished by God,(F)
stricken by him, and afflicted.(G)
5 But he was pierced(H) for our transgressions,(I)
he was crushed(J) for our iniquities;
the punishment(K) that brought us peace(L) was on him,
and by his wounds(M) we are healed.(N)

he was despised, and (B)we esteemed him not.
4 (C)Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
(D)smitten by God, and afflicted.

he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
(F)and with his wounds we are healed.

3 He was despised and rejected by men,(A)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.(B)
He was like someone people turned away from;[a]
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.
4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
and he carried our pains;(C)
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
struck down by God,(D) and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion,(E)
crushed because of our iniquities;(F)
punishment(G) for our peace was on him,
and we are healed by his wounds.(H)

3 He was (A)despised and forsaken of men,
A man of [a]sorrows and (B)acquainted with [b]grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was (C)despised, and we did not (D)esteem Him.
4 Surely our [c]griefs He Himself (E)bore,
And our [d]sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
[e]Smitten of (F)God, and afflicted.
5 But He was [f]pierced through for (G)our transgressions,
He was crushed for (H)our iniquities;
The (I)chastening for our [g]well-being fell upon Him,
And by (J)His scourging we are healed.
