- the shepherds:
- "Sonª of man,ª prophesyª° against¹ the shepherdsª° of Israel,ª prophesy,ª° and sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GODª unto the shepherds;ª° Woeª [be] to the shepherdsª° of Israelª that¹ do feedª°¹ themselves! should not¹ the shepherdsª° feedª° the flocks?ª ... Ye eatª°¹ the fat,ª and ye clotheª° you with¹ the wool,ª ye killª° them that are fed:ª [but] ye feedª° not¹ the flock.ª" {Ezk 34:2-3} + "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 34:10} + "[Seemeth it] a small thingª unto¹ you to have eaten upª° the goodª pasture,ª but ye must tread downª° with your feetª the residueª of your pastures?ª and to have drunkª° of the deepª waters,ª but ye must foulª° the residueª° with your feet?ª" {Ezk 34:18} + "I have covetedª° no man'sª silver,ª orª gold,ª orª apparel.ª" {Act 20:33} + "Butª Iª have usedª° noneª of these things:ª² neitherª¹ have I writtenª° these things,ª thatª it should be²° soª doneª° untoª me:ª forª [it were] better²¹ for meª to¹ die,ª°² thanª thatª any manª should make²° my² glorying² void.ª°¹¹" {1Co 9:15} + "And shall receiveª° the rewardª of unrighteousness,ª [as] they that countª° it pleasureª to riotª inª the day time.ª Spots²¹ [they are] andª blemishes,ª sporting themselvesª° withª their own²¹ deceivingsª while they feastª° with you;ª" {2Pe 2:13} + "Theseª areª° spotsª inª yourª feasts of charity,ª when they feast²° with¹ you,ª feedingª° themselvesª without fear:ª cloudsª [they are] without water,ª carried aboutª° ofª winds;ª treesª whose fruit withereth,ª without fruit,ª twiceª dead,ª° plucked up by the roots;ª°" {Jde 1:12}
