BIBLE VERSES

SHEPHERDS

A symbol of ambitions and other leading emotions, which collect and subordinate the simple qualities to serve their ends.

“Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?” – EZEK. xxxiv. 2.

Those leading emotions are condemned which seek to satisfy themselves, rather than minister to the growth of the virtues.
