He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 53 of Isaiah. The Servant is rejected and despised, yet he bears sicknesses, pains, and transgressions that are not presented simply as his own. The language of substitution reaches its center when he is said to be wounded for the rebellion of others. The image of the lamb and sheep expresses willingness, silence under oppression, and self-giving.

Er war der Allerverachtetste und Unwerteste, voller Schmerzen und Krankheit. Er war so verachtet, daß man das Angesicht vor ihm verbarg; darum haben wir ihn für nichts geachtet.
Despreciado y desechado entre los hombres, varón de dolores, experimentado en quebranto: y como que escondimos de él el rostro, fue menospreciado, y no lo estimamos.
Méprisé et abandonné des hommes, Homme de douleur et habitué à la souffrance, Semblable à celui dont on détourne le visage, Nous l'avons dédaigné, nous n'avons fait de lui aucun cas.
Egli è stato sprezzato, fino a non esser più tenuto nel numero degli uomini; è stato uomo di dolori, ed esperto in languori; è stato come uno dal quale ciascuno nasconde la faccia; è stato sprezzato, talchè noi non ne abbiam fatta alcuna stima
Era desprezado, e o mais rejeitado entre os homens, homem de dores, e experimentado nos trabalhos; e, como um de quem os homens escondiam o rosto, era desprezado, e não fizemos dele caso algum.
他被藐視,被人厭棄; 多受痛苦,常經憂患。 他被藐視, 好像被人掩面不看的一樣, 我們也不尊重他。
