He was oppressed and afflicted,
Yet He did not (A)open His mouth;
(B)Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off from the land of the [a]living
(C)For the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?
And His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a (D)rich man in His death,
(E)Because He had (F)done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

  1. Isaiah 53:8 Or life

He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter
and like a sheep silent before her shearers,
he did not open his mouth.(A)
He was taken away because of oppression and judgment,
and who considered his fate?[a]
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
he was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
but he was with a rich man at his death,(B)
because he had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully.(C)
