29. I beheld the sheep moaning, crying, and petitioning their Lord,

30. With all their might, until the Lord of the sheep descended at their

voice from _his_ lofty habitation; went to them; and inspected them.

31. He called to that sheep which had secretly stolen away from the

wolves, and told him to make the wolves understand that they were not to

touch the sheep.

32. Then that sheep went to the wolves with the word of the Lord, when

another met him,[214] and proceeded with him.

33. Both of them together entered the dwelling of the wolves; and

conversing with them made them understand, that from thenceforwards they

were not to touch the sheep.

34. Afterwards I perceived the wolves greatly prevailing over the sheep

with their whole force. The sheep cried out; and their Lord came to

them.

35. He began to strike the wolves, who commenced a grievous lamentation;

but the sheep were silent, nor from that time did they cry out.

36. I then looked at them, until they departed from the wolves. The eyes

of the wolves were blind, who went out and followed them with all their

might. But the Lord of the sheep proceeded with them, and conducted

them.
