Isaiah 53: :3 Yet it was the L ORD ’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the L ORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the L ORD will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied;

Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

‘Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labour; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,’ says the L ORD.
