Luke 13:14-16
New King James Version
14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had (A)healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, (B)“There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and (C)not on the Sabbath day.”
15 The Lord then answered him and said, [a]“Hypocrite! (D)Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, (E)being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”

Zechariah 11:5

Deuteronomy 33:17
New King James Version
17 His glory is like a (A)firstborn bull,
And his horns like the (B)horns of the wild ox;
Together with them
(C)He shall push the peoples
To the ends of the earth;
(D)They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
Zechariah 11:16-17
New King James Version
16 For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in (A)pieces.
17 “Woe(B) to the worthless shepherd,
Who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm
And against his right eye;
His arm shall completely wither,
And his right eye shall be totally blinded.”
Daniel 8:3-10
New King James Version
3 Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was (A)higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. 4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could [a]withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, (B)but he did according to his will and became great.
5 And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable (C)horn between his eyes. 6 Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power. 7 And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, [b]attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.
8 Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it (D)four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. 9 (E)And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, (F)toward the east, and toward the (G)Glorious Land. 10 (H)And it grew up to (I)the host of heaven; and (J)it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.

Ezekiel 34:3-5
New King James Version
3 (A)You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you (B)slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. 4 (C)The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor (D)sought what was lost; but with (E)force and [a]cruelty you have ruled them. 5 (F)So they were (G)scattered because there was no shepherd; (H)and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.
