“So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.”
The universalism—'So he shall startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate'—reiterates the previous verse while emphasizing the 'many nations' affected. The impact on kings and nations suggests that the servant's suffering concerns not merely Israel but all humanity. The reference to seeing and contemplating suggests that the servant's experience will be interpreted as revelation. This verse indicates that the servant's suffering has cosmic significance.
