He had done no wrong
    and had never deceived anyone.
But he was buried like a criminal;
    he was put in a rich man’s grave.

10 But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him
    and cause him grief.
Yet when his life is made an offering for sin,
    he will have many descendants.
He will enjoy a long life,
    and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.
11 When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
    he will be satisfied.
And because of his experience,
    my righteous servant will make it possible
for many to be counted righteous,
    for he will bear all their sins.

though he had done no violence,(C)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.(D)

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(E) to crush(F) him and cause him to suffer,(G)
    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)
