“From detention and[a] judgment he was taken away[b]
    and who can even think about his descendants?[c]
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
    he was stricken[d] for the transgression of my people.
Then they made[e] his grave with the wicked,
    and with rich people[f] in his death,[g]
although he had committed no violence,
    nor was there any deceit in his mouth.”

The Exaltation of the Servant

10 “Yet the Lord was willing to crush him,
    and he made him suffer.[h]
Although you make his soul an offering for sin,
    he[i] will see his offspring,
and[j] he will prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will triumph in his hand.
