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]
All of us have wandered about like sheep;
    we each have turned to his own way;
and Yahweh let fall on him
    the iniquity of us all.

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
    it was our sorrows[a] that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
    a punishment for his own sins!
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.
All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
    We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
    the sins of us all.
