7  Thus says the Lord,

^wthe Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,

^xto one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,

the servant of rulers:

^y“Kings shall see and arise;

princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;

because of the Lord, who is faithful,

the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

3  ^kHe was despised and rejected¹ by men,

a man of sorrows² and acquainted with³ grief;⁴

and as one from whom men hide their faces⁵

he was despised, and ^lwe esteemed him not.
