Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
He was taken from prison and from judgment: 
and who shall declare his
generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the
transgression of my people was he stricken.
Vs.8
And who shall declare his generation - A
learned friend has communicated to me the following passages from the
Mishna, and the Gemara of Babylon, as leading to a satisfactory
explication of 
this difficult place.---------
*It is said in the former, that
before any one was punished for a capital crime, proclamation was made
before the prisoner by the public crier, in these words: עליו וילמד יבא זכות לו שיודע מי כל col mi shioda lo zachoth yabo vayilmad alaiv, "whosoever knows any thing of this man's innocence, let him come and declare it.
God having made him sin for us, he was proceeded against as
a malefactor; he was apprehended and taken into custody, and made a prisoner; he
was judged, accused, tried, and condemned, according to the usual forms of law:
God filed a process against him, judged him in pursuance of that process, and
confined him in the prison of the grave, at the door of which a stone was rolled
and sealed.
He was cut off by an untimely death from the land of
the living, though he lived a most useful life, did so many good works, and
they were all such that one would be apt to think it was for some of them that
they stoned him.
And by the doctrine of Christ's cross, and the powerful
arguments it furnishes us with against sin, the dominion of sin is broken in us
and we are fortified against that which feeds the disease.
