Unjustly condemned, he was taken away,
    and who gave any thought to his future?
For he was cut off from the land of the living
    and stricken for the sins of his people.
They assigned him a grave with the wicked
    and a burial place with evildoers,
even though he had done no act of violence
    nor had he ever spoken deceitfully.
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord
    to crush him with pain.
For if he gives his life as a sacrifice for sin,
    he will see his offspring and prolong his life,
    and through him the will of the Lord will be accomplished.

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.
