hand I will not deliver them. And

I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. And I took my staff, eren Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still. but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

I am the door: by me and robbers; but the sheep did not if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, they might have life, and that and to destroy: I am come that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: for the sheep. The hireling fleeth, the good shepherd giveth his life because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay

down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not
