Isaiah 53:4-5
New King James Version
4 Surely (A)He has borne our [a]griefs
And carried our [b]sorrows;
Yet we [c]esteemed Him stricken,
[d]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was (B)wounded[e] for our transgressions,
He was [f]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His (C)stripes[g] we are healed.
