Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 53:3

3 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 .

Accounted as the scum of Mankind, as one unworthy of the company and conversation of all men.

Whose whole Life was filled with, and in a manner made up of an uninterrupted succession of Sorrows and Sufferings.

Who had constant Experience of and familiar converse with grievous afflictions: for knowledge is oft taken practically, or for Experience, as Gen. 3. 5. 2 Cor. 5. 21. and elsewhere.

We scorned and loathed to look upon him. Or, as others, he hid as it were his face from us, as one ashamed to shew his Face, or to be seen by any Men, as persons conscious to themselves of any great deformity, do commonly shun the sight of men, as Lepers did, Lev. 13. 45.

Here are divers words expressing the same thing, to signifie both the utmost degree of contempt, and how strange and wonderful a thing it was, that so excellent a person should be so despised.

Marginal references: Or, he hid as it were his face from us.; Heb. as a hiding of faces from him, or, from us.
