53 Who has believed our report?
    And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For he grew up before Him as a tender plant
    and as a root out of a dry ground.
He has no form or majesty that we should look upon him
    nor appearance that we should desire him.
He was 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 did not esteem him.

Like one from whom people hide(I) their faces
    he was despised,(J) and we held him in low esteem.
