被野獸撕裂的，我沒有帶來給你；我都自己賠上；無論是日間被偷，是夜裏被偷，你都從我手裏追討。日間炎熱銷磨我，夜裏寒霜侵襲我，合眼睡覺都顧不得：這對我都是常事。

主永恆主發神諭說；我指着永活的我來起誓，我的羊既沒有牧人，就成了被掠之物；我的羊做了田野上一切野獸的食物；我的牧人不尋找我的羊；這些牧人只知牧養自己，並不牧養我的羊。

大衛對掃羅說：『你僕人給父親牧羊；有時來了獅子或熊，從羣中捉起一隻羊羔去；我就出去追牠，擊打牠，將羊羔從牠口中搶救出來。牠起來猛撲我，我便揪着牠的鬍子，擊打牠，將牠殺死。

凡在我以先來的是賊，是強盜；羊卻不聽他們。我就是門：人若由我而進，就必得救護，可以出，可以入，也可找着草場。賊來無非是要偷竊，要宰殺，要殺滅；我來呢、乃是要使羊得生命，並且得的更充盈滿溢。我乃是好的牧人；好的牧人替羊放棄性命。做雇工而不是牧人的，羊不是自己的羊的，見狼來了，就撇下了羊逃跑了——狼抓住羊，給趕散了——
