Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer. When you make his life an offering for sin, he will see his descendants, he will live a long life, and the LORD's plan will succeed through him.
This verse reveals that God chose to allow His servant to suffer and die as a sacrifice for sin, but promises that this servant will ultimately see victory and lasting impact.
