Isaiah 53:7

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Isaiah 53:7. 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.

He never pleaded for himself. At the earthly judgment-seat, he said not a word for himself, so that even Pilate "marvelled greatly." Oh, the eloquence of that silence! Truly it was golden. Omnipotence restrained omnipotence. Christ held himself in as with bit and bridle. "As a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."
