Isaiah 53:2-6
English Standard Version
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
(A)and like a root out of dry ground;
(B)he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 (C)He was despised and rejected[a] by men,
a man of sorrows[b] and acquainted with[c] grief;[d]
and as one from whom men hide their faces[e]
he was despised, and (D)we esteemed him not.
4 (E)Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
(F)smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 (G)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
(H)and with his wounds we are healed.
6 (I)All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
(J)and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
