1 LORD, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nor special appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised, and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and familiar with illness; and as one from whom people hide their face. He was despised, and we did not value him. 4 Surely he bore our diseases, and took our pains; yet we considered him stricken, and struck down by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, and he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:1-5, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
