Isaiah 53:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 53:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot[a]
and like a root from dry ground.
He had no attractiveness and no majesty.
When we saw him, nothing about his appearance made us desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man who knew grief,
who was well acquainted with suffering.
Like someone whom people cannot bear to look at,
he was despised,
and we thought nothing of him.
4 Surely he was taking up our weaknesses,[b]
and he was carrying our sufferings.
We thought it was because of God
that he was stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
