You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

Ensure your servant’s well-being. Don’t let the proud oppress me.

Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?

Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
