Isaiah 52:14

Suffering The cross and atonement Jesus Christ

¹² For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.

¹³ Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.

Just as many were appalled at Him — His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—

¹⁵ so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
