11 As a result of the [a]anguish of His soul,
He will (A)see [b]it and be satisfied;
By His (B)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will (C)bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a (D)portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out [c](E)Himself to death,
And was (F)numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself (G)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
