Isaiah 53:7-9
World English Bible
7 He was oppressed,
yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth.
As a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he didn’t open his mouth.
8 He was taken away by oppression and judgment.
As for his generation,
who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living
and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
9 They made his grave with the wicked,
and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
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.”
