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.
*Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
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.
