Nor go by flight;
bFor the Lord will go before you,
cAnd the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
The Sin-Bearing Servant
So His avisage was marred more than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men;
Kings shall shut their mouths at Him;
For bwhat had not been told them they shall see,
And what they had not heard they shall consider.

Isaiah 52:14
As many were astonished at thee "As many were astonished at him" - For aleicha read alaiv . So the Syriac, Chaldee, and Vulgate in a MS.; and so likewise two ancient MSS.
His visage was so marred more than any man - Most interpreters understand this of the indignities offered to our blessed Lord: but Kimchi gives it another turn, and says, "It means the Jewish people, whom are considered by most nations as having an appearance different from all the people of the earth. "Poor Jews! they have in general a very disagreeable look, partly affected, and partly through neglect of neatness and cleanliness. Most Christians think they carry the impress of their reprobation on every feature of their face. However this may be, it should never be forgotten that the greatest men that ever flourished as kings, judges, magistrates, lawgivers, heroes, and poets, were of Jewish extraction. Isaiah was a Jew; so was Paul, and so was Jesus of Nazareth.
