“He was oppressed,yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth.As a lamb that is led to the slaughter,and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent,so he didn’t open his mouth.”
Isaiah 53:7 (WEB)
Context Reading
5But he was pierced for our transgressions.He was crushed for our iniquities.The punishment that brought our peace was on him;and by his wounds we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray.Everyone has turned to his own way;and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed,yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth.As a lamb that is led to the slaughter,and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent,so he didn’t open his mouth. 8He was taken away by oppression and judgment.As for his generation,who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the livingand stricken for the disobedience of my people? 9They made his grave with the wicked,and with a rich man in his death,although he had done no violence,nor was any deceit in his mouth.
