2  I was ^zmute and silent;

I held my peace to no avail,

and my distress grew worse.

9  ⁱI am mute; I do not open my mouth,

^jfor it is you who have done it.

7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,

^syet he opened not his mouth;

^tlike a ^ulamb that is led to the slaughter,

and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,

so he opened not his mouth.
