11 As a result of the [a]anguish of His soul,
He will [b](A)see it and be satisfied;
By His (B)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
For He will (C)bear their wrongdoings.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a (D)portion with the great,
And He will divide the plunder with the strong,
Because He poured out His [c](E)life unto death,
And was (F)counted with wrongdoers;
Yet He Himself (G)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the wrongdoers.
