Isaiah 53:4-10

4 aSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
bsmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 cBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
dand with his wounds we are healed.
6 eAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
fand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
gyet he opened not his mouth;
hlike a ilamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, jwho considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9And they made his grave with the wicked
kand with a rich man in his death,
although lhe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet mit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;
Or  he has made him sick

owhen his soul makes
Or  when you make his soul
an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
qthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
