Isaiah 53:7,8,9 "He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter
and like a sheep silent before her shearers,
He did not open His mouth.
8 He was taken away because of oppression and judgment;
and who considered His fate?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
He was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
9 They made His grave with the wicked
and with a rich man at His death,
although He had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully." HCSB

No complaint, no defending of Himself, no calling out of those who said they would be there no matter what, silence, willing silence under the cup of wrath.
Trust when nothing makes sense, when nothing is fair, when the help that you desire does not come.
Merciful God, prepare Your people!
