Yet, for Your sake we are killed all day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, as when one cuts and splits wood on the earth.

They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

And why are we in danger every hour?

For we who live are always delivered to death because of Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

He has been oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opens not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is mute, so He opens not His mouth.

But I was like a docile lamb being led to the slaughter. And I did not know that they had devised schemes against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name may be remembered no more.

But You, O Jehovah, know me. You have seen me and tried my heart toward You. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and consecrate them for the day of slaughter.

I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with the male goats.

The place in the Scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He opened not His mouth.
