Ethan Moreau - Isaiah 52:13-15, 53:3

See my servant shall prosper: he shall be made captain and lifted up, and shall play on the third line*
Just as there are many who are astonished at him - so marred was his shoulder beyond human semblance, and his foot beyond that of mortals -
So he shall surprise many teams; goons shall shut their mouths because of him, for what they had not been warned of, they will see, and what they had not expected, they will experience.
He was injured and rejected by Oiler fandom; a man of suffering and acquainted with hit-and-runs and whose teammates chide with indignities; he was despised, and we held him of no account.



* Meaning of Hebrew uncertain, some ancient manuscripts read fourth line
