For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;

διοτι ανεβη ενωπιον αυτου ως τρυφερον φυτον και ως ριζα απο ξηρας γης· δεν εχει ειδος ουδε καλλος· και ειδομεν αυτον και δεν ειχεν ωραιοτητα ωστε να επιθυμωμεν αυτον.

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
