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.
 

53:3 we hid. Just as Adam and Eve tried to hide from God (Genesis 3:8), so we try to hide our rebellious ways from Christ.

53:3 esteemed him not. Literally, “we estimated Him as nothing”—the typical reaction of the world to Jesus Christ as our suffering substitute.
