Lost

[For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
Seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments.

All of us like sheep have gone astray,
We have turned, each one, to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wickedness of us all [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]
To fall on Him [instead of us].

“My people have become lost sheep;
Their shepherds have led them astray.
They have made them turn aside [to the seductive places of idolatry] on the mountains.
They have gone along [from one sin to another] from mountain to hill;
They have forgotten their [own] resting place.

My flock wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill; My flock was scattered over all the face of the earth and no one searched or sought them.”’”

So He told them this parable:

For you were continually wandering like [so many] sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
