The Exaltation of the Servant

10 “Yet the Lord was willing to crush him,
    and he made him suffer.[a]
Although you make his soul an offering for sin,
    he[b] will see his offspring,
and[c] he will prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will triumph in his hand.
11 Out of the suffering of his soul he will see light[d]
    and[e] find satisfaction.
And[f] through his knowledge his servant,[g] the righteous one,
    will make many righteous,
        and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,[h]
    and he will divide the spoils with the strong;
because he poured out his life to death,
    and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he carried the sins[i] of many,
    and made intercession for their transgressions.”[j]

10 Yet[a] Yahweh was pleased to crush him;
    he made him sick.[b]
If she[c] places[d] his life a guilt offering,[e]
    he will see offspring.
He will prolong days,
    and the will of Yahweh will succeed in his hand.
11 From the trouble of his life[f] he will see;[g]
    he will be satisfied.
In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous,[h]
    and he is the one who will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many,[i]
    and with the strong ones he will divide bounty,
because[j] he poured his life out to death
    and was counted with the transgressors;
and[k] he was the one who bore the sin of many
    and will intercede for the transgressors.
