7 He was oppressed+ and he let himself be afflicted,+

But he would not open his mouth.

He was brought like a sheep to the slaughter,+

Like a ewe that is silent before its shearers,

And he would not open his mouth.+

 8 Because of restraint* and judgment he was taken away;

And who will concern himself with the details of his generation?*

For he was cut off from the land of the living;+

Because of the transgression of my people he received the stroke.*+
