Isaiah 53:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet[a] he did not open his mouth;
he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter,
and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers,
so[b] he did not open his mouth.
8 He was taken by restraint of justice,
and who concerned himself with his generation?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.
9 He made[c] his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.

Isaiah 53:7-9
Common English Bible
7 He was oppressed and tormented,
but didn’t open his mouth.
Like a lamb being brought to slaughter,
like a ewe silent before her shearers,
he didn’t open his mouth.
8 Due to an unjust ruling he was taken away,
and his fate—who will think about it?
He was eliminated from the land of the living,
struck dead because of my people’s rebellion.
9 His grave was among the wicked,
his tomb with evildoers,[a]
though he had done no violence,
and had spoken nothing false.
