Jeremiah 23:1-8

1“WoeH1945 to the shepherdsH7462 who destroyH6 and scatterH6327 the sheepH6629 of My pastureH4830!” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

2ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559 aboutH5921 the shepherdsH7462 who tendH7462 My peopleH5971: “YouH859 have scatteredH6327 My flockH6629 and driven them awayH5080, and have notH3808 attended to themH6485. BeholdH2005, I will attendH6485 toH5921 youH853 for the evilH7455 of your deedsH4611, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

3Then I MyselfH589 will gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of My flockH6629 from allH3605 the landsH776 to whichH834 I have banished themH5080, and I will return themH7725 toH5921 their pastureH5116, where they will be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235. 4I will raise upH6965 shepherdsH7462 over themH5921 who will tend themH7462, and they will noH3808 longerH5750 be afraidH3372 or dismayedH2865H3808, norH3808 will any go missingH6485, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

7SoH3651 beholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, when they will noH3808 longerH5750 sayH559, ‘As surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416, whoH834 broughtH5927 the Israelites upH1121H3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.’ 8InsteadH3588 they will say, ‘As surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416, whoH834 broughtH5927 and ledH935 the descendantsH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 up out of the landH776 of the northH6828 and allH3605 the other landsH776 to whichH834 He had banished themH5080H8033.’ Then they will dwellH3427 once more inH5921 their own landH127.”
