10 But it was the Lord who decided
    to crush him and make him suffer.
    The Lord made his life a penalty offering,
but he will still see his descendants and live a long life.
    He will complete the things the Lord wants him to do.
11 “After his soul suffers many things,
    he will see life and be satisfied.
My good servant will make many people right with God;
    he will carry away their sins.
12 For this reason I will make him a great man among people,
    and he will share in all things with those who are strong.
He willingly gave his life
    and was treated like a criminal.
But he carried away the sins of many people
    and asked forgiveness for those who sinned.”

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(A) to crush(B) him and cause him to suffer,(C)
    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]
because he poured out his life unto death,(N)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.(O)
For he bore(P) the sin of many,(Q)
    and made intercession(R) for the transgressors.
