Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted.

God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
