It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride0; it is not rude 9unmannerly0 and does not act unbecomingly. Love 9God’s love in us0 does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking: it is not touchy or fretful or resentful’ it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

O people who dwell in Zion at Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide Himself any more, but your eyes will constantly behold your Teacher. And your ears will hear a word behind you, say , This is the way: walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded]Him we are healed and made whole.
