7He 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.
8By oppression Or From arrest 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. Or generation considered / that he was cut off from the land of the living, / that he was punished for the transgression of my people?
9He 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.
10Yet it was the LORD ’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes Hebrew though you make 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.
11After he has suffered, he will see the light of life Dead Sea Scrolls (see also Septuagint); Masoretic Text does not have the light of life. and be satisfied Or (with Masoretic Text) 11 He will see the fruit of his suffering / and will be satisfied ; by his knowledge Or by knowledge of him my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
12Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, Or many and he will divide the spoils with the strong, Or numerous 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.
