10 Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him.
    He has caused him to suffer.
When you make his soul an offering for sin,
    he will see his offspring.
He will prolong his days
    and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.
11 After the suffering of his soul,
    he will see the light[a] and be satisfied.
My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself;
    and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion with the great.
    He will divide the plunder with the strong;
because he poured out his soul to death
    and was counted with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sins of many
    and made intercession for the transgressors.

  1. 53:11 So read the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint. Masoretic Text omits “the light”.

10 Yet (A)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
    he has put him to grief;[a]
(B)when his soul makes[b] an offering for guilt,
    he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
(C)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see[c] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall (D)the righteous one, my servant,
    (E)make many to be accounted righteous,
    (F)and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 (G)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,[d]
    (H)and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,[e]
because he poured out his soul to death
    and was numbered with the transgressors;
(I)yet he bore the sin of many,
    and makes intercession for the transgressors.
