⁷ He was oppressed^(A) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(B)
he was led like a lamb^(C) to the slaughter,^(D)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.

²⁸ Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
    and discerning if they hold their tongues.^(A)
