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.

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]
