Question

While judging against the Ammonites in Jeremiah 49 (“chapter 49”), God asks which members of this profession can stand against him. Ezekiel 34 (“chapter 34”) claims Israel lacks this profession and that its leaders instead pollute drinking water. A person working in this profession for seven years was cheated by his uncle Laban. (10[1])This profession, (10[1])a “good” (10[1])member of which (10[1])names a parable in John 10 (“chapter 10”), is the source (10[1])of (10[1])the word “pastor.” (10[1])This profession “leads me beside quiet waters” in Psalm 23, (10[2])which proclaims that the Lord has this profession before stating “I shall not want.” For 10 points, name this occupation of Jacob and David, who inspired the bishop’s staff with their crooks. ■END■
