(A)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    (B)smitten by God, and afflicted.
(C)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    (D)and with his wounds we are healed.
(E)All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
(F)and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself (A)bore,
And our pains that He carried;
Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,
Struck down by (B)God, and humiliated.
But He was [a]pierced for (C)our offenses,
He was crushed for (D)our wrongdoings;
The (E)punishment for our [b]well-being was laid upon Him,
And by (F)His wounds we are healed.
All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all
To [c]fall on Him.
