However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses,
    and he carried our pain,
yet[a] we ourselves assumed him stricken,
    struck down by God and afflicted.
But[b] he was pierced[c] because of our transgressions,
    crushed because of our iniquities;
the chastisement for[d] our peace[e] was upon him,
    and by his wounds[f] we were healed.[g]

    we each have turned to his own way;
and Yahweh let fall on him
    the iniquity of us all.
