⁷ He was oppressed and treated harshly,
    yet he never said a word.
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.
    And as a sheep is silent before the shearers,
    he did not open his mouth.

⁹ I am silent before you; I won’t say a word,
    for my punishment is from you.

² But as I stood there in silence—

    the turmoil within me grew worse.

²³ He did not retaliate when he was insulted,
    nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
    who always judges fairly.
