Thematic Bible: Called hirelings
Thematic Bible
Servants » Hired » Called hirelings
But the hireling, who is not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches them and scatters the sheep. The hireling flees because he is a hireling, and the sheep do not belong to him.
Man certainly has an appointed amount of time upon earth, and his days are like the days of a hireling.
