The Lord's Suffering Servant

6 All we like sheep have become lost; we have turned each one to his own way; and the LORD transposed in him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall count his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the rebellion of my people he was smitten.
