1 Who would believe what we have heard?To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up like a sapling before him,like a shoot from the parched earth;He had no majestic bearing to catch our eye,no beauty to draw us to him.
3 He was spurned and avoided by men,a man of suffering, knowing pain,Like one from whom you turn your face,spurned, and we held him in no esteem.
4 Yet it was our pain that he bore,our sufferings he endured.We thought of him as stricken,struck down by God and afflicted,
