Isaiah 53:12

 1  Who has believed what he has heard from us?  And to whom has  the arm of the Lord been revealed?  2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,  and like a root out of dry ground;  he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.  3  He was despised and rejected  by men, a man of sorrows  and acquainted with  grief;  and as one from whom men hide their faces  he was despised, and  we esteemed him not.  4  Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken,  smitten by God, and afflicted.  5  But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,  and with his wounds we are healed.  6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way;  and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.  7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,  yet he opened not his mouth;  like a  lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.  8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation,  who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?  9 And they made his grave with the wicked  and with a rich man in his death, although  he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.  10 Yet  it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief;   when his soul makes  an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;  the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.  11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see  and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall  the righteous one, my servant,  make many to be accounted righteous,  and he shall bear their iniquities.  12  Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,   and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,  because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors;  yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
