yet we considered him punished by God,^(B)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(C)

⁵ But he was pierced^(A) for our transgressions,^(B)
    he was crushed^(C) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(D) that brought us peace^(E) was on him,

    and though the Lord makes^[a] his life an offering for sin,^(D)
he will see his offspring^(E) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(F) in his hand.

    how long till you rest?
Return to your sheath;
    cease and be still.’^(B)

    though you are small among the clans^[a] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
    one who will be ruler^(C) over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,^(D)
    from ancient times.”^(E)

    will reach to the ends of the earth.

“‘I will strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’^[a](C)
