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.

10 But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him
    and cause him grief.
Yet when his life is made an offering for sin,
    he will have many descendants.
He will enjoy a long life,
    and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.
11 When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
    he will be satisfied.
And because of his experience,
    my righteous servant will make it possible
for many to be counted righteous,
    for he will bear all their sins.
12 I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier,
    because he exposed himself to death.
He was counted among the rebels.
    He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.
