[a]And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no wickedness, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet the Lord would break him and make him subject to infirmities: when [b]he shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed and shall prolong his days, and the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the [c]travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied; by his knowledge shall my [d]righteous servant justify many: for he shall bear their iniquities.
