He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn't open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he didn't open his mouth.
Which of the prophets didn't your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
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.
