the shepherds:
The shepherds of Israel, signify their kings and princes, priests and prophets; the flock, the whole of the people; the fat and wool, the tithes and offerings, taxes and imposts: these they exacted with great rigour, and even oppressed and destroyed the people to enrich themselves; but they bestowed no pains to provide for the welfare of the state, or for the souls of those entrusted to them. They knew nothing about their flock. It might be diseased, infirm, bruised, maimed, strayed, or lost, for they watched not over them. "Sonª of man,ª they that inhabitª° those¹ wastesª of¹ the landª of Israelª speak,ª° saying,ª° Abrahamª was¹ one,ª and he inheritedª°¹ the land:ª but we¹ [are] many;ª the landª is givenª° us for inheritance.ª" {Ezk 33:24} + "The priestsª saidª° not,¹ Where¹ [is] the LORD?ª and they that handleª° the lawª knewª° me not:¹ the pastorsª° also transgressedª° against me, and the prophetsª prophesiedª° by Baal,ª and walkedª° afterª [things that] do not¹ profit.ª°" {Jer 2:8} + "And I will giveª° you pastorsª° according to mine heart,ª which shall feedª° you with knowledgeª and understanding.ª°" {Jer 3:15} + "For¹ the pastorsª° are become brutish,ª° and have not¹ soughtª° the LORD:ª therefore¹¹ they shall not¹ prosper,ª° and all¹ their flocksª shall be scattered.ª°" {Jer 10:21} + "Manyª pastorsª° have destroyedª° my vineyard,ª they have trodden²° my portion² under foot,ª°¹¹ they have madeª°¹ my pleasantª portionª a desolateª wilderness.ª" {Jer 12:10} + "Verily,ª verily,ª I sayª° unto you,ª He that enterethª° notª byª the¹ doorª intoª the¹ sheepfold,ªª butª climbeth upª° some other way,ª the sameª isª° a thiefª andª a robber.ª ... Butª he that entereth inª° byª the¹ doorª isª° the¹ shepherdª of the¹ sheep.ª" {Jhn 10:1-2} + "Butª he that is²° an hireling,ª andª notª the¹ shepherd,ª whose²¹ ownª the¹ sheepª areª° not,ª seethª° the¹ wolfª coming,ª° andª leavethª° the¹ sheep,ª andª fleeth:ª° andª the¹ wolfª catchethª° them,ª andª scatterethª° the¹ sheep.ª" {Jhn 10:12}
Woe:
"[As] I¹ live,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª surely¹¹ because¹ my flockª became¹ a prey,ª and my flockª became¹ meatª to every¹ beastª of the field,ª because [there was] no¹¹ shepherd,ª° neither¹ did my shepherdsª° searchª°¹ for my flock,ª but the shepherdsª° fedª° themselves, and fedª° not¹ my flock;ª ... Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Behold,¹ I [am] against¹ the shepherds;ª° and I will requireª°¹ my flockª at their hand,ª¹ and cause them to ceaseª° from feedingª°¹ the flock;ª neither¹ shall the shepherdsª° feedª° themselves any more;¹ for I will deliverª° my flockª from their mouth,ª¹ that they may not¹ be¹ meatª for them." {Ezk 34:8-10} + "And will ye polluteª° me among¹ my peopleª for handfulsª of barleyª and for piecesª of bread,ª to slayª° the soulsª that¹ should not¹ die,ª° and to save²° the souls² aliveª°¹ that¹ should not¹ live,ª° by your lyingª° to my peopleª that hearª° [your] lies?ª" {Ezk 13:19} + "Woeª be unto the pastorsª° that destroyª° and scatterª°¹ the sheepª of my pasture!ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 23:1} + "And I said,ª° Hear,ª° I pray you,¹ O headsª of Jacob,ª and ye princesª of the houseª of Israel;ª [Is it] not¹ for you to knowª°¹ judgment?ª ... Who¹ also eatª° the fleshª of my people,ª and flayª° their skinª from off¹¹ them; and they breakª° their bones,ª and chop them in pieces,ª° as¹ for the pot,ª and as fleshª withinª the caldron.ª" {Mic 3:1-3} + "The headsª thereof judgeª° for reward,ª and the priestsª thereof teachª° for hire,ª and the prophetsª thereof divineª° for money:ª yet will they leanª° upon¹ the LORD,ª and say,ª° [Is] not¹ the LORDª amongª us? none¹ evilª can comeª° upon¹ us. ... Therefore¹ shall Zionª for your sakeª be plowedª° [as] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of the forest.ª" {Mic 3:11-12} + "Her princesª withinª her [are] roaringª° lions;ª her judgesª° [are] eveningª wolves;ª they gnaw not the bonesª°¹ till the morrow.ª ... Her prophetsª [are] lightª° [and] treacherousª persons:²¹ her priestsª have pollutedª° the sanctuary,ª they have done violenceª° to the law.ª" {Zph 3:3-4} + "Woeª to the idolª shepherdª that leavethª° the flock!ª the swordª [shall be] upon¹ his arm,ª and upon¹ his rightª eye:ª his armª shall be clean²° dried up,ª° and his rightª eyeª shall be utterly²° darkened.ª°" {Zch 11:17} + "But¹ and² ifª thatª evilª servantª shall sayª° inª his²¹ heart,ª Myª lordª delayethª° his coming;ª° ... Andª shall cut²° him² asunder,ª°¹ andª appointª° [him] hisª portionª withª the¹ hypocrites:ª thereª shall beª° weepingª andª gnashingª of teeth.ª" {Mtt 24:48-51} + "Andª the¹ Lordª said,ª° Whoª thenª isª° that faithfulª andª wiseª steward,ª whomª [his] lordª shall make rulerª° overª his²¹ household,ª to giveª° [them their] portion of meatª inª due season?ª ... The¹ lordª of thatª servantª will comeª° inª a dayª whenª he looketh²° not² forª°¹ [him], andª atª an hourª whenª he is²° not² aware,ª°¹ andª will cut²° him² in sunder,ª°¹ andª will appointª° him¹ his² portionª withª the¹ unbelievers.ª" {Lke 12:42-46} + "Bewareª° ofª the¹ scribes,ª which² desireª° to walkª° inª long robes,ª andª loveª° greetingsª inª the¹ markets,ª andª the highest seatsª inª the¹ synagogues,ª andª the chief roomsª atª feasts;ª ... Whichª devourª° widows'ª houses,ª andª for a shewª make²° long² prayers:ª°¹ the sameª shall receiveª° greaterª damnation.ª" {Lke 20:46-47} + "Forª they that are suchª serveª° notª ourª Lordª Jesusª Christ,ª butª their ownª belly;ª andª byª good wordsª andª fair speechesª deceiveª° the¹ heartsª of the¹ simple.ª" {Rom 16:18} + "Andª throughª covetousnessª shall they with feignedª wordsª make merchandiseª° of you:ª whoseª judgmentª now of a long timeª lingerethª° not,ª andª theirª damnationª slumberethª° not.ª" {2Pe 2:3}
feed:
"Also¹ in time past,ªª when Saulª was¹ kingª over¹ us, thou¹ wast¹ he that leddest outª° and broughtest¹¹ in²° Israel:ª and the LORDª saidª° to thee, Thou¹ shalt feedª°¹ my peopleª¹ Israel,ª and thou¹ shalt be¹ a captainª over¹ Israel.ª" {2Sm 5:2} + "From followingª¹ the ewes great with youngª° he broughtª° him to feedª° Jacobª his people,ª and Israelª his inheritance.ª ... So he fedª° them according to the integrityª of his heart;ª and guidedª° them by the skilfulnessª of his hands.ª" {Psa 78:71-72} + "He shall feedª° his flockª like a shepherd:ª° he shall gatherª° the lambsª with his arm,ª and carryª° [them] in his bosom,ª [and] shall gently leadª° those that are with young.ª°" {Isa 40:11} + "Soª whenª they had dined,ª° Jesusª saithª° to Simonª Peter,ª Simon,ª [son] of Jonas,ª lovest¹ thou²° meª more¹ than² these?² He¹ saithª° unto him,ª Yea,ª Lord;ª thouª knowestª° thatª I loveª° thee.ª He saithª° unto him,ª Feedª° myª lambs.ª ... He saithª° unto himª the¹ third² time,¹ Simon,ª [son] of Jonas,ª lovestª° thou me?ª Peterª was grievedª° becauseª he saidª° unto him²¹ the¹ third² time,¹ Lovestª° thou me?ª Andª he saidª° unto him,ª Lord,ª thouª knowest²°¹ all things;ª thouª knowest²°¹ thatª I loveª° thee.ª Jesusª saithª° unto him,ª Feedª° myª sheep.ª" {Jhn 21:15-17} + "Whereforeª I take²° you² to recordª°¹ thisª² day,ª thatª Iª [am] pureª fromª the¹ bloodª of allª [men]." {Act 20:26} + "Forª Iª knowª° this,ª thatª afterª myª departingª shall grievousª wolvesª enter inª° amongª you,ª notª sparingª° the¹ flock.ª" {Act 20:29} + "Feedª° the¹ flockª of Godª which is amongª you,ª taking the oversightª° [thereof], notª by constraint,ª butª willingly;ª notª for filthy lucre,ª butª of a ready mind;ª ... Andª when the¹ chief Shepherdª shall appear,ª° ye shall receiveª° a crownª of gloryª that fadeth not away.ª" {1Pe 5:2-4}
