Isaiah 52:13-15
English Standard Version
He Was Pierced for Our Transgressions
13 Behold, (A)my servant shall act wisely;[a]
he shall be high and lifted up,
and shall be exalted.
14 As many were astonished at you—
(B)his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,
and his form beyond that of the children of mankind—
15 so (C)shall he sprinkle[b] many nations.
(D)Kings shall shut their mouths because of him,
(E)for that which has not been told them they see,
and that which they have not heard they understand.

The Suffering Servant
13 Behold, my servant shall prosper,
he shall be exalted and lifted up,
and shall be very high.
14 As many were astonished at him[a]—
his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,
and his form beyond that of the sons of men—
15 so shall he startle[b] many nations;
kings shall shut their mouths because of him;
for that which has not been told them they shall see,
and that which they have not heard they shall understand.
