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.

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]
