53 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

² For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

³ He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

¹¹ He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

⁵ For neither did his brethren believe in him.
