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.
