Isaías 52:14

14 De la manera que muchos se asombraron de ti, pueblo mío, así fue desfigurada su apariencia más que la de cualquier hombre, y su aspecto más que el de los hijos de los hombres.

Isaías 52:14 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 52:14

As many were astonished at thee
Not so much at the miracles he wrought, the doctrines he taught, and the work he did; or at his greatness and glory, at his exaltation and dignity, though very wonderful; as at his humiliation, the mean appearance he made, the low estate he was brought into; the sufferings and death which he underwent. These words are placed between the account of his exaltation and humiliation, and may be thought to have respect to both; and indeed it is astonishing that one so great as he was, and is, should become so low as he did; and also that one that was brought so low should be raised so high: his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the
sons of men;
though fairer than the children of men, as he was the immediate workmanship of the divine Spirit, and without sin; yet, what with his griefs and sorrows he bore, and troubles he met with; what with watchings and fastings, with laborious preaching, and constant travelling about to do good; what with sweat and blood, with buffetings and scourgings, never was any man's face more marred, or his form more altered, than his was.

Isaías 52:14 In-Context

12 Pues no saldréis precipitadamente, ni iréis como fugitivos; porque delante de vosotros irá el SEÑOR, y vuestra retaguardia será el Dios de Israel.

13 He aquí, mi siervo prosperará, será enaltecido, levantado y en gran manera exaltado.

14 De la manera que muchos se asombraron de ti, pueblo mío, así fue desfigurada su apariencia más que la de cualquier hombre, y su aspecto más que el de los hijos de los hombres.

15 Ciertamente El asombrará a muchas naciones, los reyes cerrarán la boca ante El; porque lo que no les habían contado verán, y lo que no habían oído entenderán.
