² I was ^(A)mute and silent;
    I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.

⁷ 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.
