They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

None will harm or destroy another
on My entire holy mountain,
for the land will be as full
of the knowledge of the Lord
as the sea is filled with water.(A)

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

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.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

He grew up before Him like a young plant(A)
and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at Him,
no appearance that we should desire Him.(B)
He was despised and rejected by men,(C)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.(D)
He was like someone people turned away from;[a]
He was despised, and we didn’t value Him.

Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses,
and He carried our pains;(E)
but we in turn regarded Him stricken,
struck down by God,(F) and afflicted.
But He was pierced because of our transgressions,(G)
crushed because of our iniquities;(H)
punishment(I) for our peace was on Him,
and we are healed by His wounds.(J)
