Stricken
Isaiah 53:4-6
Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.…


is the expression used when God visits a man with severe and sudden sickness (Genesis 12:17; 1 Samuel 6:9), especially leprosy, which was regarded as pre-eminently the "stroke" of God's hand (Job 19:21; 2 Kings 15:5; Leviticus 13:3, 9, 20), and the direct consequence of sin.

(Prof. J. Skinner, D.D.)
