Isaiah 52:15

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

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

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.
