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.

        and will be very high.

    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.
