For thy

But for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

As when one plows and breaks open the earth,
Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

Why are we also in danger every hour?

For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

As sheep

He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;

Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,

And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.

But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;
And I did not know that they had devised plots against me, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
And let us cut him off from the land of the living,
That his name be remembered no more.”

But You know me, O Lord;
You see me;
And You examine my heart’s attitude toward You.
Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter
And set them apart for a day of carnage!

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

Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
“He was led as a sheep to slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He does not open His mouth.
