Isaiah 53:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 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)
8 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.
9 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)

Isaiah 53:7-9
International Standard Version
7 He was oppressed and he was afflicted,
yet he didn’t open his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
as[a] a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open[b] his mouth.
8 “From detention and[c] judgment he was taken away[d]—
and who can even think about his descendants?[e]
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
he was stricken[f] for the transgression of my people.
9 Then they made[g] his grave with the wicked,
and with rich people[h] in his death,[i]
although he had committed no violence,
nor was there any deceit in his mouth.”
