New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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)
