Ezekiel 34:2-10

2“SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 againstH5921 the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478. ProphesyH5012 and tellH559 them that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: ‘WoeH1945 to the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478, whoH834 only feedH1961H7462 themselvesH853! Should notH3808 the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 their flockH6629? 3You eatH398 the fatH2459, wearH3847 the woolH6785, and butcherH2076 the fattened sheepH1277, but you do notH3808 feedH7462 the flockH6629.

You have notH3808 strengthenedH2388 the weakH2470, healedH7495 the sickH2470H3808, bound upH2280 the injuredH7665H3808, brought backH7725 the straysH5080H3808, or searched forH1245 the lostH6. InsteadH3808, you have ruledH7287 themH853 with violenceH2394 and crueltyH6531. 5They were scatteredH6327 for lack ofH1097 a shepherdH7462, and when they were scatteredH6327 they becameH1961 foodH402 for allH3605 the wildH7704 beastsH2416. 6My flockH6629 went astrayH7686 on allH3605 the mountainsH2022 andH5921 everyH3605 highH7311H5921 hillH1389. They were scatteredH6327H6629 over the faceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, with no oneH369 to searchH1875 for them orH369 seek them outH1245.’

7ThereforeH3651, you shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: 8‘As surely as IH589H518 liveH2416, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, becauseH3282 My flockH6629 lacksH369 a shepherdH7462 and has becomeH1961 preyH957H1961 and foodH402 for everyH3605 wildH7704 beastH2416, and because My shepherdsH7462 did notH3808 searchH1875 for My flockH6629 but fedH7462 themselvesH853 instead, 9thereforeH3651, you shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068!’

10This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2005, I am againstH413 the shepherdsH7462, and I will demandH1875 from themH3027 My flockH6629 and remove themH7673 from tendingH7462 the flockH6629, so that they can noH3808 longerH5750 feedH7462 themselvesH853. For I will deliverH5337 My flockH6629 from their mouthsH6310, and it will no longerH3808 beH1961 foodH402 for them.’
