圣经经文

“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 her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.” (Isaiah 53:7) “他被欺压,在受苦的时候却不开口(或作他受欺压却自卑不开口),他像羊羔被牵到宰杀之地,又像羊在剪毛的人手下无声。他也是这样不开口。” (以赛亚书53:7)

意思

A lamb to the slaughter指某人像羊羔一样驯服于屠杀者,表明他们注定要经历某些不能預知的的困境。

来源及应用

以赛亚在圣经旧约中是一位先知,预言耶稣基督的出现。他在上述经文也预言了耶稣的死-他受到压迫却不开口。他像一只羊羔,乖乖地等待被宰杀。
