Isaiah 53:7-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth.
Like a lamb he was led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep[a] that is silent in front of its shearers,
he did not open his mouth.
8 He was taken away without a fair trial[b] and without justice,
and of his generation, who even cared?[c]
So, he was cut off from the land of the living.
He was struck because of the rebellion of my people.
