10 But the Lord was pleased
To (A)crush Him, [a](B)putting Him to grief;
If [b]He would render Himself as a guilt (C)offering,
He will see (D)His [c]offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the [d]good (E)pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
11 As a result of the [e]anguish of His soul,
He will (F)see [f]it and be satisfied;
By His (G)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will (H)bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a (I)portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out [g](J)Himself to death,
And was (K)numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself (L)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

he will see his offspring(E) and prolong his days,
