The rhetorical question—'Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?'—expresses bewilderment at the servant's strange exaltation through suffering. The reference to what 'we have heard' suggests eyewitness testimony to the servant's astonishing reversal. The question about to whom the 'arm of Yahweh' is 'revealed' appeals to the visibility and publicity of God's work through the servant. This verse introduces the central mystery: how can suffering lead to exaltation.
