Isaiah 52:13-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Fourth Servant Song
The Lord’s Servant Suffers for Straying Sheep
13 Look, my servant will succeed.[a]
He will rise. He will be lifted up. He will be highly exalted.
14 Just as many were appalled at him[b]—
his appearance was so disfigured that he did not look like a man,
and his form was disfigured more than any other person—
15 so he will sprinkle[c] many nations,
and kings will shut their mouths because of him,
because they will see something they had never been told before,
and they will understand something they had never heard before.

Lexham English Bible
The Servant’s Suffering and Exaltation
13 Look, my servant shall achieve success;
he shall be exalted,
and he shall be lifted up,
and he shall be very high.
14 Just as many were appalled at you—
such was his appearance beyond human disfigurement,
and his form beyond the sons of mankind—
15 so he shall sprinkle many nations;
because of him, kings shall shut their mouths.[a]
For they shall see what has not been told them,
and they shall consider with full attention what they have not heard.
