ÒHe was oppressed and
afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as
a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did
not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who
can speak of his descendants? For
he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.Ó – Isaiah 53:7-8
