Isaiah 53:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 But he shall grow up before him as a branch, and as a [a]root out of a dry [b]ground; he hath neither form nor beauty: when we shall see him, there shall be no form that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men: he is a man full of sorrows, and hath experience of [c]infirmities: we hid as it were our faces from him: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely, he hath born our infirmities, and carried [d]our sorrows, yet we did judge him as [e]plagued and smitten of God, and humbled.
