11 As a result of his anguish
    my servant will behold the light and be content.
Through his humiliation he will justify many,
    and their guilt he will bear.
12 Therefore, I will allot him a portion among the great,
    and he will divide the spoils with the mighty,
because he exposed himself to death
    and was counted among the transgressors,
even though he bore the sins of many
    and interceded for the transgressors.

11 After he has suffered,(A)
    he will see the light(B) of life[a] and be satisfied[b];
by his knowledge[c] my righteous servant(C) will justify(D) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.(E)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[d](F)
    and he will divide the spoils(G) with the strong,[e]
because he poured out his life unto death,(H)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.(I)
For he bore(J) the sin of many,(K)
    and made intercession(L) for the transgressors.
