Isaiah 53:7 meaning and explanation

He 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.

Isaiah 53:7, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

These words come from the fourth Servant Song, where the prophet speaks for a community looking back on a figure who suffered on their behalf. The Servant is described as silent under oppression, not because he is indifferent but because he does not resist or retaliate.
