Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 53:10

10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him , he hath put him to grief : when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin , he shall see his seed , he shall prolong his days , and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand .

But although he was perfectly innocent, it pleased God for other just and wise Reasons to punish him.

God was the principal cause of all his sorrows and sufferings, although mens sins were the deserving cause.

When thou, O God, shalt make, or have made, thy Son a Sacrifice, by giving him up to death for the attonement of mens sins. His Soul is here put for his Life, or for himself, or his whole humane nature, which was sacrificed, his Soul being tormented with the sense of Gods Wrath, and his Body crucified, and Soul and Body separated by Death. Or the words may be rendred, When his soul shall make, or have made, itself an offering for sin: whereby it may be implied that he did not lay down his Life by force, but willingly.

His death shall be glorious to himself, and highly beneficial to others, for he shall have a numerous issue of Believers reconciled to God, and saved by his death.

He shall be raised to immortal Life, and shall live and reign with God for ever; he shall die no more, Rom. 6. 9. and of his Kingdom there shall be no end, Luk. 1. 33.

Gods gracious decree for the redemption and Salvation of Mankind shall be effectually carried on by his Ministry and Mediation.
