Isaiah 53:12 (NKJV)
12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And made intercession for the transgressors.

But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.

Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
