Ezekiel 34:7-16

7Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8“As I live,” declares the Lord God, “surely because My flock has become a 1prey, My flock has even become food for all the beasts of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock; 9therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am 2against the shepherds, and I will demand My 3sheep 4from them and make them 5cease from feeding 6sheep. So the shepherds will not 7feed themselves anymore, but I will 8deliver My flock from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them.”’”

11For thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I Myself will 9search for My sheep and seek them out. 1210As a shepherd 11cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered 12sheep, so I will 1314care for My 15sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a 16cloudy and gloomy day. 13I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will 17feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the 18streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14I will feed them in a 19good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in 2021rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I will 22feed My flock and I will 23lead them to rest,” declares the Lord God. 16“I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the 24fat and the strong I will destroy. I will 25feed them with judgment.
