World English Bible Public Domain
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn't open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he didn't open his mouth.

King James Version Public Domain
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, and he did not open his mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a ewe silences itself to the face of its shearers, so he did not open his mouth.
