To him the porter G2377 opens; G455 and the sheep G4263 hear G191 his voice: G5456 and he calls G2564 his own G2398 sheep G4263 by name, G3686 and leads G1806 them out.

His watchmen H6822 are blind: H5787 they are all H3605 ignorant, H3808 H3045 they are all H3605 dumb H483 dogs, H3611 they cannot H3808 H3201 bark; H5024 sleeping, H1957 lying H7901 down, H7901 loving H157 to slumber. H5123

Come H857 you, say they, I will fetch H3947 wine, H3196 and we will fill H5433 ourselves with strong drink; H7941 and to morrow H4279 shall be as this H2088 day, H3117 and much H3966 more H3499 abundant. H1419

Son H1121 of man, H120 prophesy H5012 against H5921 the shepherds H7462 of Israel, H3478 prophesy, H5012 and say H559 to them, Thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 to the shepherds; H7462 Woe H1945 be to the shepherds H7462 of Israel H3478 that do feed H7462 themselves! should not the shepherds H7462 feed H7462 the flocks? H6629

The diseased H2456 have you not strengthened, H2388 neither H3808 have you healed H7495 that which was sick, H2470 neither H3808 have you bound H2280 up that which was broken, H7665 neither H3808 have you brought H7725 again H7725 that which was driven H5080 away, neither H3808 have you sought H1245 that which was lost; H6 but with force H2394 and with cruelty H6531 have you ruled H7287 them.

My sheep H6629 wandered H7686 through all H3605 the mountains, H2022 and on every H3605 high H7311 hill: H1389 yes, my flock H6629 was scattered H6327 on all H3605 the face H6440 of the earth, H776 and none H369 did search H1875 or seek H1245 after them.

For, see, I will raise H6965 up a shepherd H7462 in the land, H776 which shall not visit H6485 those that be cut H3582 off, neither H3808 shall seek H1245 the young H5288 one, nor H3808 heal H7495 that that is broken, H7665 nor H3808 feed H3557 that that stands H5324 still: but he shall eat H398 the flesh H1320 of the fat, H1277 and tear H6561 their claws H6541 in pieces.

Woe H1945 to the idol H457 shepherd H7473 that leaves H5800 the flock! H6629 the sword H2719 shall be on his arm, H2220 and on his right H3225 eye: H5869 his arm H2220 shall be clean H2889 dried H3001 up, and his right H3225 eye H5869 shall be utterly darkened. H3543

Not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not greedy G866 of filthy lucre; G866 but patient, G1933 not a brawler, G269 not covetous; G866

Likewise G5615 must the deacons G1249 be grave, G4586 not double-tongued, G1351 not given G4337 to much G4183 wine, G3631 not greedy G146 of filthy lucre; G146

For Demas G1214 has forsaken G1459 me, having loved G25 this G3588 present G3568 world, G165 and is departed G4198 to Thessalonica; G2332 Crescens G2913 to Galatia, G1053 Titus G5103 to Dalmatia. G1149

For a bishop G1985 must G1163 be blameless, G410 as the steward G3622 of God; G2316 not self-willed, G829 not soon G3711 angry, G3711 not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not given to filthy G150 lucre; G146

Feed G4165 the flock G4168 of God G2316 which is among G1722 you, taking the oversight G1983 thereof, not by constraint, G317 but willingly; G1596 not for filthy G147 lucre, G147 but of a ready G4289 mind; G4290

And through G1722 covetousness G4124 shall they with feigned G4112 words G3056 make G1710 merchandise of you: whose G3739 judgment G2917 now of a long time G1597 lingers G691 not, and their damnation G684 slumbers G3573 not.

Beware G4337 of false G5578 prophets, G5578 which G3748 come G2064 to you in sheep's G4263 clothing, G1742 but inwardly G2081 they are ravening G727 wolves. G3074

Behold, G2400 I send G649 you forth G649 as sheep G4263 in the middle G3319 of wolves: G3074 be you therefore G3767 wise G5429 as serpents, G3789 and harmless G185 as doves. G4058

For I know G1492 this, G5124 that after G3326 my departing G867 shall grievous G926 wolves G3074 enter G1525 in among G1519 you, not sparing G5339 the flock. G4168
