oppressed--LOWTH translates, "It was exacted, and He was made answerable." The verb means, "to have payment of a debt sternly exacted" (Deuteronomy 15:2-3), 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-- Jeremiah 11:19; and David in Psalms 38:13-14; Psalms 39:9, prefiguring Messiah (Matthew 26:63; Matthew 27:12, 0:0-1:1).
