Isaiah 53:2-4
American Standard Version
2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; [a]and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He was despised, and [b]rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with [c]grief: and [d]as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our [e]griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

New International Version
2 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.
3 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.
Isaiah 53:2-4
King James Version
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 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.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
