7 He was
oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the
slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is
silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and
judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation
protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the
living;
for the transgression of my people he was
punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the
wicked,
and with the rich in his
death,
though he had done no
violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was
the Lord’s will to
crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes[c] his
life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and
prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his
hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life[d] and
be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my
righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their
iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among
the great,[g]
and he will divide the spoils with the
strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto
death,
and was numbered with the
transgressors.
For he bore the sin of
many,
and made intercession for the
transgressors.
