In context
1Who has believed our message? 2He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, 3He was despised and rejected by men, 4Surely He took up our infirmities 5But He was pierced for our transgressions, 6We all like sheep have gone astray, 7He was oppressed and afflicted, 8By oppression and judgment He was taken away,
