Isaiah 53:1-3 (NET)

Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

²For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.

³He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

A Man of Sorrows
