All we like sheep have gone astray ...

All we,
Not only the black, or ringstraked, or spotted,
Like sheep,
In stubbornness and stupidity,
Have gone astray,
In the howling wilderness,
We have turned,
From the voice behind us,
Every one,
Not only the blind, and the lame and sick,
To his own way,
From the Shepherd in front of us,
And Jehovah hath laid upon Him,
The smitten Shepherd,
The iniquity of us all.
