Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, *He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn't open his mouth.
But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I didn't know that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit of it, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
But you, LORD, know me; you see me, and try my heart toward you: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
