Isaiah 53:1-4 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Has anyone believed usor seen the mighty powerof the Lord in action?

2. Like a young plant or a rootthat sprouts in dry ground,the servant grew upobeying the Lord.He wasn't some handsome king.Nothing about the way he lookedmade him attractive to us.

3. He was hated and rejected;his life was filled with sorrowand terrible suffering.No one wanted to look at him.We despised him and said,“He is a nobody!”

4. He suffered and enduredgreat pain for us,but we thought his sufferingwas punishment from God.
