The Prophet’s Anguish and Hope

In darkness and not in light.

Time and time again throughout the day.

A Man of [b]sorrows and (B)acquainted with [c]grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and (C)we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely (D)He has borne our [d]griefs
And carried our [e]sorrows;
Yet we [f]esteemed Him stricken,
[g]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
