ÒWho has
believed our message, and to whom has the
arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up
before him like a tender shoot, and like a root
out of dry ground. He had no
beauty or majesty
to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance
that we should desire him. He was despised
and rejected by men, a man of sorrows
and familiar with suffering. Like
one from
whom men hide their faces he was despised
and we esteemed him not.Ó
