Darby Bible

1And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 2SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478, prophesyH5012; and sayH559 unto them, unto the shepherdsH7462, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: WoeH1945 to the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478 that feedH7462 themselves! Should not the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 the flockH6629? 3Ye eatH398 the fatH2459, and ye clotheH3847 you with the woolH6785; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flockH6629. 4The weak have ye not strengthenedH2388, nor have ye healedH7495 the sickH2470, and ye have not boundH2280 up [what was] brokenH7665, neither have ye broughtH7725 again that which was drivenH5080 awayH7725, neither have ye soughtH1245 for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them. 5And they wereH1961 scatteredH6327 because there wasH1961 no shepherdH7462; and they becameH1961 meat to all the beasts of the fieldH7704, and wereH1961 scatteredH6327. 6My sheepH6629 wandered through all the mountainsH2022, and upon every highH7311 hillH2022, and my sheepH6629 have been scatteredH6327 upon all the faceH6440 of the earthH776, and there was none that searchedH1245, or that soughtH1245 for them. 7ThereforeH3651, ye shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah: 8[As] I live, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, verily because my sheepH6629 have beenH1961 a preyH957, and my sheepH6629 have beenH1961 meat to every beast of the fieldH7704, because there was no shepherdH7462, and my shepherdsH7462 searchedH1875 not for my flockH6629, but the shepherdsH7462 fed themselves, and fed not my flockH6629, 9— thereforeH3651, ye shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah. 10ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I amH1961 against the shepherdsH7462; and I will requireH1875 my sheepH6629 at their handH3027, and cause them to ceaseH7673 from feeding the flockH6629: that the shepherdsH7462 may feedH7462 themselves no more; and I will deliverH5337 my sheepH6629 from their mouthH6310, that they may not beH1961 foodH402 for them. 11For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both searchH1875 for my sheepH6629, and tend them. 12As a shepherdH7462 tendeth his flockH6629 in the dayH3117 that he is among his scatteredH6327 sheepH6629, soH3651 will I tend my sheepH6629, and 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 to their own landH776; and I will feedH7462 them upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 by the water-courses, and in all the habitable placesH4186 of the countryH2022. 14I will feedH7462 them in a goodH2896 pastureH4829, and upon the highH4791 mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall their fold beH1961: there shall they lieH7257 down in a goodH2896 fold, and in a fat pastureH4829 they shall feedH7462 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 15I will myself feedH7462 my flockH6629, and I will cause them to lieH7257 down, saith the LordH136 Jehovah. 16I will seekH1245 the lost, and bringH7725 again that which was drivenH5080 awayH7725, and will bindH2280 up the brokenH7665, and will strengthenH2388 that which was sickH2470; but I will destroyH8045 the fat and the strongH2388: I will feedH7462 them with judgmentH4941. 17And as for you, my flockH6629, thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I judgeH8199 between sheepH6629 and sheepH6629, between the ramsH352 and the he-goats. 18Is it too smallH4592 a thing unto you to have eaten up the goodH2896 pasturesH4829, but ye must tread down with your feetH7272 the rest of your pasturesH4829; and to have drunkH8354 of the settled watersH4325, but ye must foul the rest with your feetH7272? 19And my sheepH6629 have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feetH7272, and to drinkH8354 that which ye have fouled with your feetH7272. 20ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judgeH8199 between the fat sheepH7716 and the leanH7330 sheepH7716. 21Because ye thrust with sideH3802 and with shoulderH3802, and push all the weak ones with your hornsH7161, till ye have scatteredH6327 them abroad, 22— I will saveH3467 my flockH6629, that they may no more beH1961 a preyH957; and I will judgeH8199 between sheepH6629 and sheepH6629. 23And I will setH6965 up oneH259 shepherdH7462 over them, and he shall feedH7462 them, even my servantH5650 DavidH1732: he shall feedH7462 them, and he shall beH1961 their shepherdH7462. 24And I Jehovah will beH1961 their 1GodH430, and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 a princeH5387 in their midstH8432: I Jehovah have spokenH1696 [it]. 25And I will makeH3772 with them a covenantH1285 of peaceH7965, and will cause evilH7451 beasts to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776; and they shall dwellH3427 in safetyH7965 in the wildernessH4057, and sleepH3462 in the woods. 26And I will makeH5414 them and the places roundH5439 about my hillH1389 a blessingH1293; and I will cause the showerH1653 to come down in its season: there shall beH1961 showersH1653 of blessingH1293. 27And the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yield its fruitH6529, and the earthH776 shall yield its increase; and they shall beH1961 in safety in their landH776, and shall knowH3045 that I [am] Jehovah, when I have brokenH7665 the bands of their yokeH5923 and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of those that kept them in servitude. 28And they shall no more beH1961 a preyH957 to the nationsH1471, neither shall the beast of the earthH776 devourH398 them; but they shall dwellH3427 in safety, and none shall make them afraid. 29And I will raiseH6965 up for them a plant of renown, and they shall beH1961 no more consumed with hungerH7458 in the landH776, neither bearH5375 the ignominy of the nationsH1471 any more. 30And they shall knowH3045 that I Jehovah their 2GodH430 [am] with them, and that they, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are my peopleH5971, saith the Lord Jehovah. 31And ye, my flockH6629, the flockH6629 of my pastureH4830, are menH120: I [am] your 3GodH430, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
