Isaiah 53:2-4

Isaiah 52 Isaiah 54

Isaiah 53:2-4 Revised Standard Version (RSV)

²For he grew up before him like a young plant,
    and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or comeliness that we should look at him,
    and no beauty that we should desire him.
³He was despised and rejected^[a] by men;
    a man of sorrows,^[b] and acquainted with grief;^[c]
and as one from whom men hide their faces
    he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴Surely he has borne our griefs^[d]
and carried our sorrows;^[e]
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
