Isaiah 53:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 He grew up before Him like a young plant(A)
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.(B)
3 He was despised and rejected by men,(C)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.(D)
He was like someone people turned away from;[a]
He was despised, and we didn’t value Him.
4 Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses,
and He carried our pains;(E)
but we in turn regarded Him stricken,
struck down by God,(F) and afflicted.

- Isaiah 53:3 Lit And like a hiding of faces from Him
Isaiah 53:2-4
New International Version
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,(A)
and like a root(B) out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance(C) that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering,(D) and familiar with pain.(E)
Like one from whom people hide(F) their faces
he was despised,(G) and we held him in low esteem.
