Isaiah 53:7-9

He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions

⁷ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
_s yet he opened not his mouth;
_t like a _u lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
⁸ By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, _v who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
⁹ And they made his grave with the wicked
_w and with a rich man in his death,
although _x he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
