The Exalted Servant

13 Behold, My (A)Servant will prosper,
He will be high and lifted up and [a]greatly (B)exalted.
14 Just as many were appalled at you, My people,
So His (C)appearance was marred beyond that of a man,
And His form beyond the sons of mankind.
15 So [b]He will (D)sprinkle many nations,
Kings will (E)shut their mouths on account of Him;
For (F)what they had not been told, they will see,
And what they had not heard, they will understand.

The Suffering Servant

13 See, my servant shall prosper;
    he shall be exalted and lifted up
    and shall be very high.(A)
14 Just as there were many who were astonished at him[a]
    —so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance,
    and his form beyond that of mortals—(B)
15 so he shall startle[b] many nations;
    kings shall shut their mouths because of him,
for that which had not been told them they shall see,
    and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate.(C)
