Isaiah 53:7

Isaiah 53:7. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not mouth:

When a word could have released him, he would not speak it. His was indeed golden silence. Oh, the wondrous eloquence of that patient speechlessness when he stood before Herod and Pilate, and answered them not a word! He could have spoken with such authority as to have called legions of angels from heaven for his protection, or a single word of his could have destroyed his enemies, as the leaves of autumn lie withered and dead; but "he opened not his mouth."
