Isaiah 53:2-4

New American Standard Bible

²For He grew up before Him like a ^(A)tender ^[a]shoot,
And like a root out of dry ground;
He has ^(B)no stately form or majesty
That we would look at Him,
Nor an appearance that we would take pleasure in Him.
³He was ^(C)despised and abandoned by men,
A man of ^[b]great pain and ^(D)familiar with sickness;
And like one from whom people hide their faces,
He was ^(E)despised, and we had no ^(F)regard for Him.

⁴However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself ^(G)bore,
And our pains that He carried;
Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,
Struck down by ^(H)God, and humiliated.

New International Version

²He 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.
³He 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.
