Isaiah 52:13-15

Living Bible

¹³See, my Servant^[a] shall prosper; he shall be highly exalted. ^14-15Yet many shall be amazed when they see him—yes, even far-off foreign nations and their kings; they shall stand dumbfounded, speechless in his presence. For they shall see and understand what they had not been told before. They shall see my Servant beaten and bloodied, so disfigured one would scarcely know it was a person standing there. So shall he cleanse^[b] many nations.

Isaiah 52:14 cleanse, or “startle.” The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain.
