10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with affliction.
When you make his life an offering for sin,[a]
    he shall see his offspring and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.(A)
11     Out of his anguish he shall see;
he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.
    The righteous one,[b] my servant, shall make many righteous,
    and he shall bear their iniquities.(B)
12 Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,
    and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out himself to death
    and was numbered with the transgressors,
yet he bore the sin of many
    and made intercession for the transgressors.(C)

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]
