⁷ He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter
and like a sheep silent before her shearers,
He did not open His mouth.^(A)
8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment;
and who considered His fate?^[a]
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
He was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
