Isaiah 53:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 53:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him
and to allow him to suffer.
Because you[a] made his life a guilt offering, he will see offspring.
He will prolong his days,
and the Lord’s gracious plan will succeed in his hand.
11 After his soul experiences anguish, he will see the light of life.[b]
He will provide satisfaction.[c]
Through their knowledge of him, my just servant will justify the many,
for he himself carried their guilt.[d]
12 Therefore I will give him an allotment among the great,[e]
and with the strong he will share plunder,
because he poured out his life to death,
and he let himself be counted with rebellious sinners.
He himself carried the sin of many,
and he intercedes for the rebels.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 53:10 The shift to the second person pronoun you must refer to God, who gives his Son as a sin offering.
- Isaiah 53:11 The words the light of life are not included in the standard Hebrew text but are in the Dead Sea Scroll of Isaiah.
- Isaiah 53:11 Or be satisfied. The understanding of this line depends on whether the subject is the Messiah, as is the case in all the other lines of this verse, or it is God the Father, who is satisfied by the Messiah’s suffering. The understanding of the verse also depends on whether the variant the light of life is included in the preceding line. Another factor is whether this line goes with what precedes or with what follows. What is clear is that the Messiah provides a full payment for sin (satisfaction), and the Lord is satisfied with that payment. What is uncertain is which of these two points is stressed by this verb.
- Isaiah 53:11 As in verse 5, the Hebrew term is plural and refers to the guilt deserved for sins.
- Isaiah 53:12 Or give him the many as his portion

and though the Lord makes[a] his life an offering for sin,(D)
he will see his offspring(E) and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper(F) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(G)
he will see the light(H) of life[b] and be satisfied[c];
by his knowledge[d] my righteous servant(I) will justify(J) many,
and he will bear their iniquities.(K)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[e](L)
and he will divide the spoils(M) with the strong,[f]

For he bore(P) the sin of many,(Q)
and made intercession(R) for the transgressors.
