This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
oppressed - Lowth translates, “It was exacted, and He was made answerable.” The verb means, “to have payment of a debt sternly exacted” (Deu 15:2, Deu 15:3), and so to be oppressed in general; the exaction of the full penalty for our sins in His sufferings is probably alluded to.
and ... afflicted - or, and yet He suffered, or bore Himself patiently, etc. [Hengstenberg and Maurer]. Lowth’s translation, “He was made answerable,” is hardly admitted by the Hebrew.
opened not ... mouth - Jer 11:19; and David in Psa 38:13, Psa 38:14; Psa 39:9, prefiguring Messiah (Mat 26:63; Mat 27:12, Mat 27:14; 1Pe 2:23).
