The Suffering Servant

¹³ See, my servant shall prosper;
   he shall be exalted and lifted up,
   and shall be very high.
¹⁴ Just as there were many who were astonished at him^*
   —so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance,
   and his form beyond that of mortals—
¹⁵ so he shall startle^* many nations;
   kings shall shut their mouths because of him;
for that which had not been told them they shall see,
   and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate.
¹⁰ Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain.^*
When you make his life an offering for sin,^*
   he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.
¹¹   Out of his anguish he shall see light;^*
he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.
   The righteous one,^* my servant, shall make many righteous,
   and he shall bear their iniquities.
¹² Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,
   and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he poured out himself to death,
   and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
   and made intercession for the transgressors.
