He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
    (A)yet he opened not his mouth;
(B)like a (C)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
    so he opened not his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
    and as for his generation, (D)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
    stricken for the transgression of my people?
And they made his grave with the wicked
    (E)and with a rich man in his death,
although (F)he had done no violence,
    and there was no deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet (G)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
    he has put him to grief;[a]
(H)when his soul makes[b] an offering for guilt,
    he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
(I)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

He was oppressed(A) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;(B)
he was led like a lamb(C) to the slaughter,(D)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression[a] and judgment(E) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(F)
    for the transgression(G) of my people he was punished.[b]
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(H)
    and with the rich(I) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(J)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.(K)

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(L) to crush(M) him and cause him to suffer,(N)
    and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,(O)
he will see his offspring(P) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper(Q) in his hand.
