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.

    The punishment that brought our peace was on him;

    Everyone has turned to his own way;
    and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
  3. 7He was oppressed,
    yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth.

    so he didn’t open his mouth.
  4. 8He 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?
  5. 9They 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.
