The Suffering Servant

13My servant will be successful. 

He will be respected, praised, and highly honored. 

14Many will be shocked by him.b

His appearance will be so disfigured 

that he won’t look like any other man. 

His looks will be so disfigured 

that he will hardly look like a human. 

15He will cleanse many nations ⸤with his blood⸥. 

Kings will shut their mouths because of him. 

They will see things that they had never been told. 

They will understand things that they had never heard.

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Behold, my servant shall act wisely;

he shall be high and lifted up,

and shall be exalted.

As many were astonished at you—

his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,

and his form beyond that of the children of mankind—

so shall he sprinkle many nations.

Kings shall shut their mouths because of him,

for that which has not been told them they see,

and that which they have not heard they understand.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

See, my servant will act wisely;

he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.

Just as there were many who were appalled at him—

his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being

and his form marred beyond human likeness—

so he will sprinkle many nations,

and kings will shut their mouths because of him.

For what they were not told, they will see,

and what they have not heard, they will understand.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

See, my servant will be successful;

he will be raised and lifted up and greatly exalted.

Just as many were appalled at you—

his appearance was so disfigured

that he did not look like a man,

and his form did not resemble a human being—

so he will sprinkle many nations.

Kings will shut their mouths because of him,

for they will see what had not been told them,

and they will understand what they had not heard.

NLTNew Living Translation

See, my servant will prosper;

he will be highly exalted.

But many were amazed when they saw him.

His face was so disfigured he seemed hardly human,

and from his appearance, one would scarcely know he was a man.

And he will startle many nations.

Kings will stand speechless in his presence.

For they will see what they had not been told;

they will understand what they had not heard about.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Look, my servant shall achieve success;

he shall be exalted,

and he shall be lifted up,

and he shall be very high.

Just as many were appalled at you—

such was his appearance beyond human disfigurement,

and his form beyond the sons of mankind—

so he shall sprinkle many nations;

because of him, kings shall shut their mouths.

For they shall see what has not been told them,

and they shall consider with full attention what they have not heard.

KJV 1900King James Version

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently,

He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

As many were astonied at thee;

His visage was so marred more than any man,

And his form more than the sons of men:

So shall he sprinkle many nations;

The kings shall shut their mouths at him:

For that which had not been told them shall they see;

And that which they had not heard shall they consider.
