Isaiah 53:2-3
Common English Bible
Isaiah 53:2-3
Common English Bible
2 He grew up like a young plant before us,[a]
like a root from dry ground.
He possessed no splendid form for us to see,
no desirable appearance.
3 He was despised and avoided by others;
a man who suffered, who knew sickness well.
Like someone from whom people hid their faces,
he was despised, and we didn’t think about him.
