Shepherd

“I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.”

“He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.”

“He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.”

“Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd keeps his flock.”

“This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.”

“And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.”

“David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,”

“I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.”
