Ez34..8 "I live," says the LORD GOD, "surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food for every beast of the field, because no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock."
9 'Therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!
10 'Thus says the LORD GOD: "Behold, I against the shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them."
11 'For thus says the LORD GOD: "Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.
12 "As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.

13 "And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14 "I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15 "I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down," says the LORD GOD.
16 "I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment."
17 'And You, O My flock, thus says the LORD GOD: "Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.
18 "too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the residue of your

pasture - and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet?
19 "And My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet."
20 'Therefore thus says the LORD GOD to them: "Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep.
21 "Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad,
22 "Therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
23 "I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them - My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.
30 "Thus they shall know that I, the LORD their GOD, with them, and they, the house of Israel, My people," says the LORD GOD.' "

Rev3..18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

Rev2..9 I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but a synagogue of satan.
10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.

Mk15..25 Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
26 And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

28 So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."

33 Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

Job33..22 Yes, his soul draws near the pit, and his life to the executioners.
23 If there is a messenger for him, a mediator, one among a thousand, to show man His uprightness,
24 Then He is gracious to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom;'
25 His flesh shall be young like a child's, He shall return to the days of his youth.
26 He shall pray to GOD, and He will delight in him, he shall see His face with joy, for He restores to man His righteousness.
27 Then he looks at men and says, 'I have sinned, and perverted right, and it did not profit me.'
28 He will redeem his soul from going down to the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29 Behold, GOD works all these twice, thrice with a man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
 
Ps66..8 Oh, bless our GOD, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9 Who keeps our soul among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.
10 For You, O GOD, have tested us; You have refined us as silver refined.
11 You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs.
12 You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out to abundance.

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O LORD," holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

And they lived and reigned with Christ.
