Isaiah 52:14-15
Expanded Bible
14 Many people were ·shocked [astonished; appalled] when they saw him.
His appearance was so ·damaged [disfigured; marred] he did not look like a man;
his form ·was so changed they could barely tell he was human [L beyond the sons of man/children of humanity].
15 But now he will ·surprise [startle; or sprinkle; C as the blood of a sacrifice sprinkled on the altar; Lev. 4:6, 17] many nations.
Kings will ·be amazed [L shut their mouths because of him].
They will see things they had not been ·told about him [L told],
and they will understand things they had not heard.”
Isaiah 52:14-15
New International Version
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)—
15 so he will sprinkle(D) many nations,[b]
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)
