Isaiah 53:2-5
New King James Version
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no [a]form or [b]comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no [c]beauty that we should desire Him.
3 (A)He is despised and [d]rejected by men,
A Man of [e]sorrows and (B)acquainted with [f]grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and (C)we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely (D)He has borne our [g]griefs
And carried our [h]sorrows;
Yet we [i]esteemed Him stricken,
[j]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was (E)wounded[k] for our transgressions,
He was [l]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His (F)stripes[m] we are healed.

New International Version
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,(A)
and like a root(B) out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance(C) that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering,(D) and familiar with pain.(E)
Like one from whom people hide(F) their faces
he was despised,(G) and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,(H)
yet we considered him punished by God,(I)
stricken by him, and afflicted.(J)
5 But he was pierced(K) for our transgressions,(L)
he was crushed(M) for our iniquities;
the punishment(N) that brought us peace(O) was on him,
and by his wounds(P) we are healed.(Q)
