Isaiah continues speaking to the people in exile in Babylonia, describing Yahweh's servant. (See: [Isaiah 53:1](./01.md))

## He was oppressed ##

AT: "They treated him harshly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

## he did not open his mouth ##

AT: "he did not protest" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

## as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent ##

Isaiah compares the servant to a lamb and a sheep to emphasize that he will remain silent as people harm and humiliate him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])

## as a lamb that is led to the slaughter ##

AT: "just as a lamb is silent as a person slaughters it"
