The Suffering Servant

53 (A)Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
For He grew up before Him like a (B)tender [a]shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has (C)no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should desire Him.
He was (D)despised and forsaken of men,
A man of [b]sorrows and (E)acquainted with [c]grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was (F)despised, and we did not (G)esteem Him.

53 Who hath believed [a]our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed? For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; [b]and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised, and [c]rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with [d]grief: and [e]as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
