Ezekiel 34:13-31

13I will bring them outH3318 fromH4480 the peoplesH5971, gather themH6908 fromH4480 the countriesH776, and bring themH935 intoH413 their own landH127. I will feed themH7462 onH413 the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, in the ravinesH650, and in allH3605 the settlementsH4186 of the landH776. 14I will feedH7462 themH853 in goodH2896 pastureH4829, and the loftyH4791 mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 will beH1961 their grazing landH5116. ThereH8033 they will lie downH7257 in a goodH2896 grazing landH5116; they will feedH7462 in richH8082 pastureH4829 onH413 the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478.

15IH589 will tendH7462 My flockH6629H589 and make them lie downH7257, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. 16I will seekH1245 the lostH6, bring backH7725 the straysH5080, bind upH2280 the brokenH7665, and strengthenH2388 the weakH2470; but the sleekH8082 and strongH2389 I will destroyH8045. I will shepherd themH7462 with justiceH4941.’

17This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069H2005 saysH559 to youH859, My flockH6629: ‘I will judgeH8199 betweenH996 one sheepH7716 and anotherH7716, between the ramsH352 and the goatsH6260. 18Is it not enoughH4592 for you to feed onH7462 the goodH2896 pastureH4829? Must you also trampleH7429 the restH3499 of the pastureH4829 with your feetH7272? Is it not enough for you to drinkH8354 the clearH4950 watersH4325? Must you also muddyH7515 the restH3498 with your feetH7272? 19Why must My flockH6629 feed onH7462 what your feetH7272 have trampledH4823, and drinkH8354 what your feetH7272 have muddiedH4833?’

20ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559 to themH413: ‘BeholdH2005, I MyselfH589 will judgeH8199 betweenH996 the fatH1274 sheepH7716 andH996 the leanH7330 sheepH7716. 21SinceH3282 you shoveH1920 with flankH6654 and shoulderH3802, buttingH5055 allH3605 the weak onesH2470 with your hornsH7161 untilH5704 you have scatteredH6327 themH853 abroadH2351, 22I will saveH3467 My flockH6629, and they will noH3808 longerH5750 beH1961 preyH957. I will judgeH8199 betweenH996 one sheepH7716 and anotherH7716. 23I will appointH6965 over themH5921 oneH259 shepherdH7462, My servantH5650 DavidH1732, and he will feedH7462 themH853. HeH1931 will feedH7462 themH853 andH1931 beH1961 their shepherdH7462. 24IH589, the LORDH3068, will beH1961 their GodH430, and My servantH5650 DavidH1732 will be a princeH5387 among themH8432. IH589, the LORDH3068, have spokenH1696.

25I will makeH3772 with them a covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 and ridH7673 the landH776 ofH4480 wildH7451 animalsH2416, so that they may dwellH3427 securelyH983 in the wildernessH4057 and sleepH3462 in the forestH3293. 26I will makeH5414 themH853 and the places aroundH5439 My hillH1389 a blessingH1293. I will send downH3381 showersH1653 in seasonH6256—showersH1653 of blessingH1293H1961. 27The treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 will giveH5414 their fruitH6529, and the landH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH2981; My flock will beH1961 secureH983 inH5921 their landH127. Then they will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068, when I have brokenH7665 the barsH4133 of their yokeH5923 and delivered themH5337 from the handsH3027 that enslavedH5647 them.

28They will noH3808 longerH5750 beH1961 preyH957 for the nationsH1471, and the beastsH2416 of the earthH776 will notH3808 consume themH398. They will dwell securelyH3427H983, and noH369 one will frighten themH2729.

29And I will raise upH6965 for them a gardenH4302 of renownH8034, and they will noH3808 longerH5750 beH1961 victimsH622 of famineH7458 in the landH776 or bearH5375 the scornH3639 of the nationsH1471. 30Then they will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589, the LORDH3068 their GodH430, am with themH854, and that theyH1992, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are My peopleH5971,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.

31‘YouH859 are My flockH6629, the sheepH6629 of My pastureH4830, My peopleH120H859, and IH589 am your GodH430,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.”
