He was oppressed

"They treated him harshly"

he did not open his mouth

"he did not protest"

as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent

Isaiah compares the servant to a lamb and a sheep to emphasize that he will remain silent as people harm and humiliate him.

as a lamb that is led to the slaughter

"just as a lamb is silent as a person slaughters it"
