The Suffering Servant

13 “Look! My servant will prosper,
    and[a] he will be exalted and lifted up,
        and will be very high.
14 Just as many were astonished at you[b]
    so was he marred in[c] his appearance, more than any human,
and his form beyond that of human semblance[d]
15 so will he startle[e] many nations.
Kings will shut their mouths at him;
    for what had not been told them they will see,
        and what they had not heard they will understand.

The Suffering and Glory of the Servant

13 See, my servant(A) will act wisely[a];
    he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.(B)
14 Just as there were many who were appalled(C) at him[b]
    his appearance was so disfigured(D) beyond that of any human being
    and his form marred beyond human likeness(E)
15 so he will sprinkle(F) many nations,[c]
    and kings(G) will shut their mouths(H) because of him.
For what they were not told, they will see,
    and what they have not heard, they will understand.(I)
