He was despised and rejected of men,
    a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from him;
    he was despised, and we did not esteem him.

Surely he has borne our grief
    and carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed him stricken,
    smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
    he was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement of our peace was upon him,
    and by his stripes we are healed.

    and by his wounds(M) we are healed.(N)
