THE SONG OF SONGSHOW DO WE UNDERSTAND THE SONG?DESIRE IN THE EYES OF THE WOMAN, THE MAN AND THE COMMUNITYBEHOLDING MUTUAL LOVEA WARNINGFor he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, DUGUID OUTLINE FROM TYNDALE COMMENTARY
