What does Isaiah 53:2 mean?

He grew up in front of God like a small plant, like a root pushing up through dry ground. He didn’t look impressive or attractive—nothing about him made us want to pay attention. Isaiah 53:2 - Modern Text Bible

(The servant’s beginnings are humble and unremarkable. He doesn’t fit people’s expectations of greatness or beauty.)
