Isaiah 53:7-9

[7] He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. [8] He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. [9] And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

What does Isaiah 53:7-9 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Isaiah continued the sheep metaphor, but applied it to the Servant, to contrast sinful people and their innocent substitute. Here it is not the sheep"s tendency to get lost but its non-defensive nature that is the characteristic feature. The prophet stressed the Servant"s submissiveness, His innocence, and the injustice that others would deal Him.
