2  I was ^pmute and silent;

I held my peace to no avail,

and my distress grew worse.

9  I am mute; I do not open my mouth,

for it is you who have done it.

7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,

yet ^dhe opened not his mouth;

^elike a lamb that is led to the slaughter,

and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,

so he opened not his mouth.
