G4967–σφαγή–sphagē

Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound:

σφαγὴν sphagēn “slaughter”

As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.

σφαγῆς. sphagēs “of slaughter.”

You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.

σφαγῆς. sphagēs “of slaughter.”
