He was placed in a tomb with the wicked.
    He was put there with the rich when he died,
    although he had done nothing violent
        and had never spoken a lie.

10 Yet, it was Yahweh’s will to crush him with suffering.
    When Yahweh has made his life a sacrifice for our wrongdoings,
    he will see his descendants for many days.
        The will of Yahweh will succeed through him.
11 He will see and be satisfied
    because of his suffering.
    My righteous Ebed will acquit many people
    because of what he has learned through suffering.
    He will carry their sins as a burden.

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)
