Psalms 22:12-16
12 Many bulls encompass me;astrong bulls of bBashan surround me;
13they copen wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
14 I am dpoured out like water,
and all my bones are eout of joint;
my fheart is like gwax;
it is melted within my breast;
15my strength is hdried up like a potsherd,
and my itongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16 For jdogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers kencircles me;
they have lpierced my hands and feet ▼

—Ezekiel 34:10
10Thus says the Lord God, nBehold, I am against the shepherds, and oI will require my sheep at their hand and pput a stop to their feeding the sheep. qNo longer shall the shepherds feed themselves. rI will rescue my sheep from their mouths, that they may not be food for them.Ezekiel 34:17
17“As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord God: sBehold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and tmale goats.Matthew 25:31-46
The Final Judgment
31 u“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, vthen he will sit on his glorious throne. 32Before him wwill be gathered xall the nations, and yhe will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates zthe sheep from the goats. 33And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34Then aathe King will say to abthose on his right, ‘Come, you acwho are blessed by my Father, adinherit aethe kingdom afprepared for you agfrom the foundation of the world. 35For ahI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you aigave me drink, ajI was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 akI was naked and you clothed me, alI was sick and you amvisited me, anI was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40And aothe King will answer them, ap‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these aqmy brothers, ▼▼Or brothers and sisters
you did it to me.’ 41“Then he will say to those on his left, as‘Depart from me, you atcursed, into authe eternal fire prepared for avthe devil and his angels. 42For awI was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, axyou did not do it to me.’ 46And these will go away ayinto eternal punishment, but the righteous azinto baeternal life.”
