Acts 8:32-34
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
32 This was the scripture passage he was reading:(A)
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
33 In (his) humiliation justice was denied him.
Who will tell of his posterity?
For his life is taken from the earth.”
34 Then the eunuch said to Philip in reply, “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”

Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”[a](A)
