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.

11 When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
    he will be satisfied.
And because of his experience,
    my righteous servant will make it possible
for many to be counted righteous,
    for he will bear all their sins.
