The Lord's Suffering Servant
6 All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned every one to his own way, and LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that is mute before its shearers, so he opened not his mouth. 8 In his humiliation his justice was taken away. And as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke [was due]?
