Should not the shepherdsH7462 6 7feedH7462 the flockH6629?

3You 8eatH398 the fatH2459 and clotheH3847 yourselvesH3847 with the woolH6785, you 9slaughterH2076 the fatH1277 sheep withoutH3808 10feedingH7462 the flockH6629.

4Those who are sicklyH2470 you have not strengthenedH2388, the 11diseasedH2470 you have not healedH7495, 12the brokenH7665 you have not boundH2280 up, the scatteredH5080 you have not broughtH7725 backH7725, norH3808 have you 13soughtH1245 for the lostH6; but with forceH2394 and with severityH6531 you have dominatedH7287 them.
