For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

The merciful man does good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubles his own flesh.

The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.

Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a rich pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord GOD.

And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those who enslaved them.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!

This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

Whosoever eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this bread shall live forever.
