Isaiah 53:7-9
Holman 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 They[b] made His grave with the wicked
and with a rich man at His death,(B)
although 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.”
