He was given a grave with those who were evil.
    But his body was buried in the tomb of a rich man.
He was killed even though he hadn’t harmed anyone.
    And he had never lied to anyone.

10 The Lord says, “It was my plan to crush him
    and cause him to suffer.
    I made his life an offering to pay for sin.
But he will see all his children after him.
    In fact, he will continue to live.
    My plan will be brought about through him.
11 After he has suffered, he will see the light of life.
    And he will be satisfied.
My godly servant will make many people godly
    because of what he will accomplish.
    He will be punished for their sins.
