Lamb to be slaughtered II

This verse has often been considered as a prophecy of the Messiah as a suffering servant. According to Isaiah, He was to be oppressed and afflicted yet would not open His mouth. He was to be treated like a common criminal yet He was to be buried in a rich man's tomb. These verses are the most beloved of text when it comes to remembering the life of the suffering servant. Christ humbles Himself before men that God may be exalted through His unwavering devotion. He lost His life for the sins of the people.

Isaiah 53:7-9 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. 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. 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.
