- "Behold,ª° I comeª° asª a thief.ª Blessedª [is] he that watcheth,ª° andª keepethª° his²¹ garments,ª lestª he walkª° naked,ª andª they seeª° his²¹ shame.ª" {Rev 16:15} + "His watchmenª° [are] blind:ª they are all¹ ignorant,ª°¹ they [are] all¹ dumbª dogs,ª they cannotª°¹ bark;ª° sleeping,ª° lying down,ª° lovingª° to slumber.ª°" {Isa 56:10} + "I have setª° watchmenª° upon¹ thy walls,ª O Jerusalem,ª [which] shall neverª¹ hold their peaceª° dayª nor night:ª ye that make mentionª° of¹ the LORD,ª keep not silence,ª¹ ...

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} + "I will seekª°¹ that which was lost,ª° and bring againª° that which was driven away,ª° and will bind upª° [that which was] broken,ª° and will strengthenª° that which was sick:ª° but I will destroyª° the fatª and the strong;ª I will feedª° them with judgment.ª" {Ezk 34:16} + "For,¹ lo,¹ I¹ will raise¹ up²° a shepherdª° in the land,ª [which] shall not¹ visitª° those that be cut off,ª° neither¹ shall seekª° the young one,ª nor¹ healª° that that is broken,ª° nor¹ feedª° that that standeth²° still:¹ but he shall eatª° the fleshª of the fat,ª and tear²° their claws² in pieces.ª°¹" {Zch 11:16} + "Watchª° therefore:ª forª ye knowª° notª whatª hourª yourª Lordª doth come.ª° ...
