Reflections on Isaiah 53: grief,sins and sorrow


Surely He has borne our griefs (hebrew Khol-ee)

Malady, anxiety, clamity, disease, grief, sickness.

Malady: webster's definition:

1. Any sickness or disease of the human body; any distemper from impaired, defective or morbid organic functions; more particularly, a lingering or deep seated disorder or indisposition. It may be applied to any animal body,but is, I believe, rarely or never applied to plants.
The maladies of the body may prove medicines to the mind.

2. Defect or corruption of the heart; depravity; moral disorder or corruption of moral principles. Depravity of heart is a moral malady.

and carried our sorrow:

Hebrew (mak-obe)

Anguish, affliction, grief, pain, sorrow.
