Harmless As Doves

• Sheep
• Wolf

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

• Wolf

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

• Church

O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
