14 Just as there were many who were appalled(A) at him[a]
    his appearance was so disfigured(B) beyond that of any human being
    and his form marred beyond human likeness(C)

    and kings(E) will shut their mouths(F) because of him.
For what they were not told, they will see,
    and what they have not heard, they will understand.(G)

  2. Isaiah 52:15 Or so will many nations be amazed at him (see also Septuagint)

14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

He 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.
He 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.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
