He was taken away because of oppression and judgment;
and who considered His fate?[a]

and with a rich man at His death,(A)
although He had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully.(B)

When[d] You make Him a restitution offering,(E)
He will see His seed, He will prolong His days,
and by His hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.(F)
