Isaiah 52:13-53:3

The Suffering and Glory of the Servant 13See, my servant will act wisely Or will prosper ; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.

14Just as there were many who were appalled at him Hebrew you — his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness— 15so he will sprinkle many nations, Or so will many nations be amazed at him (see also Septuagint) and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.

1Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

2He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

3He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
