10 Yet the Lord was pleased(A) to crush him severely.[a](B)
When[b] you make him a guilt offering,(C)
he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,
and by his hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.(D)
11 After his anguish,
he will see light[c] and be satisfied.
By his knowledge,
my righteous(E) servant(F) will justify many,(G)
and he will carry their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him[d] the many as a portion,
and he will receive[e] the mighty as spoil,
because he willingly submitted to death,(H)
and was counted among the rebels;(I)
yet he bore the sin of many(J)
and interceded for the rebels.(K)

10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with affliction.
When you make his life an offering for sin,[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)
