14 “‘However, if you will not listen to me or keep all these commandments,+

17 I will set my face against you, and you will be defeated by your enemies;+ and those who hate you will tread on you,+ and you will flee when no one is pursuing you.+

16 “Let Jehovah, the God of the spirit of all people,* appoint over the assembly a man 17 who will go out and come in before them and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that Jehovah’s assembly may not become like sheep that have no shepherd.”
