Isaiah 53:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
Isaiah 53:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10 But the Lord was pleased with this humble servant who suffered such pain.[a] Even after giving himself as an offering for sin, he will see his descendants and enjoy a long life. He will succeed in doing what the Lord wanted. 11 After his suffering he will see the light,[b] and he will be satisfied with what he experienced.
The Lord says, “My servant, who always does what is right, will make his people right with me; he will take away their sins. 12 For this reason, I will treat him as one of my great people. I will give him the rewards of one who wins in battle, and he will share them with his powerful ones. I will do this because he gave his life for the people. He was considered a criminal, but the truth is, he carried away the sins of many. Now he will stand before me and speak for those who have sinned.”

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.
