Because of oppression and judgment He was taken away.
As for His generation, who considered?
For He was cut off from the land of the living,
for the transgression of my people—
the stroke was theirs
His grave was given with the wicked,
and by a rich man in His death,[a]
though He had done no violence,
nor was there any deceit in His mouth.[b]

10 Yet it pleased Adonai to bruise Him.
He caused Him to suffer.
If He makes His soul a guilt offering,
He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days,
and the will of Adonai will succeed by His hand.
11 As a result of the anguish of His soul
He will see it and be satisfied by His knowledge.
The Righteous One, My Servant will make many righteous
    and He will bear their iniquities.[c]

By oppression[a] and judgment(A) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(B)
    for the transgression(C) of my people he was punished.[b]
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(D)
    and with the rich(E) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(F)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.(G)

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(H) to crush(I) him and cause him to suffer,(J)
    and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,(K)
he will see his offspring(L) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper(M) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(N)
    he will see the light(O) of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant(P) will justify(Q) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.(R)
