Isaiah 52:14-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 Just as many were appalled at him[a]—
his appearance was so disfigured that he did not look like a man,
and his form was disfigured more than any other person—
15 so he will sprinkle[b] many nations,
and kings will shut their mouths because of him,
because they will see something they had never been told before,
and they will understand something they had never heard before.

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)
