Behold, my
servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high:
As many were astonished at you;
saying His
appearance is too marred to be that of a man, and his forms to be that
of the sons of men: So shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut
their mouths at him; for that which had not been told them shall they see;
and that which they had not heard shall they perceive: Who has believed
our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed: For he grew up
before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had
no form nor comeliness that we should look at him, there was no countenance
that we should desire him:
He was despised
and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with sickness; and
we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed
him not: Surely he has borne our sicknesses, and carried our sorrows; yet
we esteemed him stricken, struck by God, and afflicted:But he was wounded
because of our transgressions, he was bruised because of our iniquities;
his sufferings were that we might have peace;
