Isaiah 53:1-3
Christian Standard Bible
53 Who has believed what we have heard?[a]
And to whom has the arm of the Lord(A) been revealed?(B)
2 He grew up before him like a young plant(C)
and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at him,
no appearance that we should desire him.(D)
3 He was despised and rejected by men,(E)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.(F)
He was like someone people turned away from;[b]
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.
Isaiah 53:1-3
Common English Bible
53 Who can believe what we have heard,
and for whose sake has the Lord’s arm[a] been revealed?
2 He grew up like a young plant before us,[b]
like a root from dry ground.
He possessed no splendid form for us to see,
no desirable appearance.
3 He was despised and avoided by others;
a man who suffered, who knew sickness well.
Like someone from whom people hid their faces,
he was despised, and we didn’t think about him.
