In final clause the options seem to be:

1.  ...for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
2.  ...for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.

I lean toward option 1 mainly on the basis of parallelism with the preceding 
clause and I take it as governed by the niphal perfect nigzar and the 
singular suffix of lamo.  

There is a bit of a difference in meaning in that option 2 expressly says 
something about the people whereas option 1 focuses on the person leaving 
conclusions about the people to inference.

Ideas?
