⁶ But I am a worm^(A) and not a man,
    scorned by everyone,^(B) despised^(C) by the people.

⁷ Since they hid their net^(A) for me without cause^(B)
    and without cause dug a pit^(C) for me,

¹² They repay me evil for good^(A)
    and leave me like one bereaved.

⁵ All day long they twist my words;^(A)
    all their schemes are for my ruin.

¹⁰ For my enemies^(A) speak against me;
    those who wait to kill^(B) me conspire^(C) together.

⁷ This is what the Lord says—
    the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel^(A)—
to him who was despised^(B) and abhorred by the nation,
    to the servant of rulers:
“Kings^(C) will see you and stand up,
    princes will see and bow down,^(D)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,^(E)
    the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen^(F) you.”

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.
