Isaiah 53:3-4
King James Version
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

3 He was despised and rejected by men,(A)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.(B)
He was like someone people turned away from;[a]
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.

struck down by God,(D) and afflicted.
