And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,

He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.

Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him. (Isaiah 53:4-6)
