⁷ He was oppressed^(A) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(B)
he was led like a lamb^(C) to the slaughter,^(D)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.

⁸ By oppression^[a] and judgment^(A) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(B)
    for the transgression^(C) of my people he was punished.^[b]

“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
    and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
