Speaks of Jesus being accused of wrong, but He refused to defend Himself. He remained quiet.

Explanation:

The Book of Isaiah is the 23rd book in the Old Testament of the Christians' holy book "The Holy Bible". This particular book contains a lot of descriptions as well as predictions for the future of the world. Not only that, it also includes the coming of the Messiah and the saving of the whole world through the suffering of the Son of God.

Isaiah 53 verse 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 says -

4 Surely he took up our pain

and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God,

stricken by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,

he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

and by his wounds we are healed.

7 "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 its shearers is silent,

so he did not open his mouth."

8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.

Yet who of his generation protested?

For he was cut off from the land of the living;

for the transgression of my people he was punished.

10 Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,

and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,

he will see his offspring and prolong his days,

and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.

These lines predicts the suffering of Christ at the hands of those who are against him. Like a sheep, he remained silent, suffering whatever was inflicted upon him for the sake of the salvation of the whole world. These lines talks of how Jesus will be wrongly accused but will not defend himself. Instead, he will rather remain quiet and silently endure the torture that was put on him.
