But he took away all our weakness!
    He carried our pain for us.
We thought that he was receiving punishment for his own sins.
    We thought that God was causing him to suffer.
But it was our sins that caused his wounds.
    The bad things that we had done crushed him.
The punishment that he received
    has brought peace to us.
The wounds that he received
    have made us well.
We have all turned away,
    like sheep that take the wrong path.
Each of us has turned to follow our own way.
But the Lord has taken all our sins
    and put the punishment on him.

the punishment(G) that brought us peace(H) was on him,
    and by his wounds(I) we are healed.(J)

    each of us has turned to our own way;(L)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity(M) of us all.
