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)
