Isaiah 53:10-12
The Message
Isaiah 53:10-12
The Message
10 Still, it’s what God had in mind all along,
to crush him with pain.
The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin
so that he’d see life come from it—life, life, and more life.
And God’s plan will deeply prosper through him.
11-12 Out of that terrible travail of soul,
he’ll see that it’s worth it and be glad he did it.
Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant,
will make many “righteous ones,”
as he himself carries the burden of their sins.
Therefore I’ll reward him extravagantly—
the best of everything, the highest honors—
Because he looked death in the face and didn’t flinch,
because he embraced the company of the lowest.
He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many,
he took up the cause of all the black sheep.
Isaiah 53:10-12
New International Version
Isaiah 53:10-12
New International Version
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(A) to crush(B) him and cause him to suffer,(C)
and though the Lord makes[a] his life an offering for sin,(D)
he will see his offspring(E) and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper(F) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(G)
he will see the light(H) of life[b] and be satisfied[c];
by his knowledge[d] my righteous servant(I) will justify(J) many,
and he will bear their iniquities.(K)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[e](L)
and he will divide the spoils(M) with the strong,[f]
because he poured out his life unto death,(N)
and was numbered with the transgressors.(O)
For he bore(P) the sin of many,(Q)
and made intercession(R) for the transgressors.
