Isaiah 53:10-12

He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions

10 Yet y it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; 1
z when his soul makes 2 an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
a the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see 3 and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall b the righteous one, my servant,
c make many to be accounted righteous,
d and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 e Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, 4
f and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, 5
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
g yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
