² For^[a] he went^[b] up like a shoot before him,
    and like a root from dry ground.
He had no form and no majesty that^[c] we should see him,
    and no appearance that^[d] we should take pleasure in him.
³ He was despised and rejected by men,
    a man of suffering, and acquainted with^[e] sickness,
and like one from whom others hide their faces,^[f] he was despised,
    and we did not hold him in high regard.
⁴ However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses,
    and he carried our pain,
yet^[g] we ourselves assumed him stricken,
    struck down by God and afflicted.
