Isaiah 52:13-15
Lexham English Bible
The Servant’s Suffering and Exaltation
13 Look, my servant shall achieve success;
he shall be exalted,
and he shall be lifted up,
and he shall be very high.
14 Just as many were appalled at you—
such was his appearance beyond human disfigurement,
and his form beyond the sons of mankind—
15 so he shall sprinkle many nations;
because of him, kings shall shut their mouths.[a]
For they shall see what has not been told them,
and they shall consider with full attention what they have not heard.

International Standard Version
The Suffering Servant
13 “Look! My servant will prosper,
and[a] he will be exalted and lifted up,
and will be very high.
14 Just as many were astonished at you[b]—
so was he marred in[c] his appearance, more than any human,
and his form beyond that of human semblance[d]—
15 so will he startle[e] many nations.
Kings will shut their mouths at him;
for what had not been told them they will see,
and what they had not heard they will understand.
