2. He sprouted up like a twig before God,like a root out of parched soil;he had no stately form or majesty that might catch our attention,no special appearance that we should want to follow him.
3. He was despised and rejected by people,one who experienced pain and was acquainted with illness;people hid their faces from him;he was despised, and we considered him insignificant.
4. But he lifted up our illnesses,he carried our pain;even though we thought he was being punished,attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done.
5. He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds,crushed because of our sins;he endured punishment that made us well;because of his wounds we have been healed.
6. All of us had wandered off like sheep;each of us had strayed off on his own path,but the Lord caused the sin of all of us to attack him.
7. He was treated harshly and afflicted,but he did not even open his mouth.Like a lamb led to the slaughtering block,like a sheep silent before her shearers,he did not even open his mouth.
