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^(E) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(F)
    for the transgression^(G) of my people he was punished.^[b]

⁸ And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death^(A)—
        even death on a cross!^(B)
