10 Yet the Lord was pleased(A) to crush him severely.[a](B)
When[b] you make him a guilt offering,(C)
he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,
and by his hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.(D)
11 After his anguish,
he will see light[c] and be satisfied.
By his knowledge,
my righteous(E) servant(F) will justify many,(G)
and he will carry their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him[d] the many as a portion,
and he will receive[e] the mighty as spoil,
because he willingly submitted to death,(H)
and was counted among the rebels;(I)
yet he bore the sin of many(J)
and interceded for the rebels.(K)

10 But the Lord desired
To (A)crush Him, [a](B)causing Him grief;
If He renders [b]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](F)see it and be satisfied;
By His (G)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
For He will (H)bear their wrongdoings.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a (I)portion with the great,
And He will divide the plunder with the strong,
Because He poured out His [g](J)life unto death,
And was (K)counted with wrongdoers;
Yet He Himself (L)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the wrongdoers.
