He was given a grave among the wicked;
in his death he was with a rich man.

Although he had done no violence
and had said nothing deceptive,
10 yet it pleased Adonai to crush him with illness,
to see if he would present himself as a guilt offering.
If he does, he will see his offspring;
and he will prolong his days;
and at his hand Adonai’s desire
will be accomplished.
11 After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction.
“By his knowing [pain and sacrifice],
my righteous servant makes many righteous;
it is for their sins that he suffers.

He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(A)
    and with the rich(B) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(C)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.(D)

    and though the Lord makes[a] his life an offering for sin,(H)
he will see his offspring(I) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper(J) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(K)
    he will see the light(L) of life[b] and be satisfied[c];
by his knowledge[d] my righteous servant(M) will justify(N) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.(O)
