Ezekiel 34:11-22

11For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will searchH1875 for my sheepH6629, and will seekH1875 them out. 12As a shepherdH7462 seeketh out his flockH6629 in the dayH3117 that he is among his sheepH6629 that are scatteredH6327 abroad, soH3651 will I seekH1239 out my sheepH6629; and I will deliverH5337 them out of all placesH4725 whither they have beenH1961 scatteredH6327 in the cloudy and dark dayH3117. 13And I will bringH935 them out from the peoplesH5971, and gatherH6908 them from the countries, and will bringH935 them into their own landH776; and I will feedH7462 them upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited placesH4186 of the countryH2022. 14I will feedH7462 them with goodH2896 pastureH4829; and upon the mountainsH2022 of the heightH4791 of IsraelH3478 shall their fold beH1961: there shall they lieH7257 down in a goodH2896 fold; and on fat pastureH4829 shall they feedH7462 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 15I myself will be the shepherdH7462 of my sheepH6629, and I will cause them to lieH7257 down, saith the LordH136 Jehovah. 16I will seekH1245 that which was lost, and will bringH7725 backH7725 that which was drivenH5080 awayH7725, and will bindH2280 up that which was brokenH7665, and will strengthenH2388 that which was sickH2470: but the fat and the strongH2388 I will destroyH8045; I will feedH7462 them in justiceH4941.

17And as for you, O my flockH6629, thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I judgeH8199 between sheepH6629 and sheepH6629, the ramsH352 and the he-goats. 18Seemeth it a smallH4592 thing unto you to have fed upon the goodH2896 pastureH4829, but ye must tread down with your feetH7272 the residue of your pastureH4829? and to have drunkH8354 of the clear watersH4325, but ye must foul the residue with your feetH7272? 19And as for my sheepH6629, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feetH7272, and they drinkH8354 that which ye have fouled with your feetH7272.

20ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah unto them: Behold, I, even I, will judgeH8199 between the fat sheepH7716 and the leanH7330 sheepH7716. 21Because ye thrust with sideH3802 and with shoulderH3802, and push all the diseased with your hornsH7161, till ye have scatteredH6327 them abroad; 22therefore will I saveH3467 my flockH6629, and they shall no more beH1961 a preyH957; and I will judgeH8199 between sheepH6629 and sheepH6629.
