Isaiah 53:9-11

Isaiah 53:9-11
The Voice
9 And when he was dead, he was buried with the disgraced
in borrowed space (among the rich),
Even though he did no wrong by word or deed.[a]
It is hard to understand why God would crush His innocent Servant. But it is in His suffering for sin that God deals decisively with sin and its harmful effects.
10 Yet the Eternal One planned to crush him all along,
to bring him to grief, this innocent servant of God.
When he puts his life in sin’s dark place, in the pit of wrongdoing,
this servant of God will see his children and have his days prolonged.
For in His servant’s hand, the Eternal’s deepest desire will come to pass and flourish.
11 As a result of the trials and troubles that wrack his soul,
God’s servant will see light and be content
Because He knows, really understands, what it’s about; as God says,
“My just servant will justify countless others by taking on their punishment and bearing it away.

9 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)
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];

and he will bear their iniquities.(O)
