Ezekiel 34:7-16

7ThereforeH3651, you shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068: 8“As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “surelyH518H3808 becauseH3282 My flockH6629 has becomeH1961 a 1preyH957, My flockH6629 has even becomeH1961 foodH402 for allH3605 the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 for lackH369 of a shepherdH7462, and My shepherdsH7462 did not searchH1875 for My flockH6629, but rather the shepherdsH7462 fedH7462 themselves and did not feedH7462 My flockH6629; 9thereforeH3651, you shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068: 10‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I am 2againstH413 the shepherdsH7462, and I will demandH1875 My 3sheepH6629 4from them and make them 5ceaseH7673 from feedingH7462 6sheepH6629. So the shepherdsH7462 will not 7feedH7462 themselves anymoreH5750, but I will 8deliverH5337 My flockH6629 from their mouthH6310, so that they will not be foodH402 for them.”’”

11For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I MyselfH589 will 9searchH1875 for My sheepH6629 and seekH1239 them out. 1210As a shepherdH7462 11caresH1243 for his herdH5739 in the dayH3117 when he is amongH8432 his scatteredH6567 12sheepH6629, soH3651 I will 1314careH1239 for My 15sheepH6629 and will deliverH5337 them from allH3605 the placesH4725 to whichH834 they were scatteredH6327 on a 16cloudyH6051 and gloomyH6205 dayH3117. 13I will bringH3318 them out from the peoplesH5971 and gatherH6908 them from the countriesH776 and bringH935 them to their own landH127; and I will 17feedH7462 them on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, by the 18streamsH650, and in allH3605 the inhabitedH4186 placesH4186 of the landH776. 14I will feedH7462 them in a 19goodH2896 pastureH4829, and their grazingH5116 groundH5116 will be on the mountainH2022 heightsH4791 of IsraelH3478. ThereH8033 they will lieH7257 downH7257 on goodH2896 grazingH5116 groundH5116 and feedH7462 in 2021richH8082 pastureH4829 on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 15I will 22feedH7462 My flockH6629 and I will 23leadH7257 them to restH7257,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 16“I will seekH1245 the lostH6, bringH7725 backH7725 the scatteredH5080, bindH2280 up the brokenH7665 and strengthenH2388 the sickH2470; but the 24fatH8082 and the strongH2389 I will destroyH8045. I will 25feedH7462 them with judgmentH4941.
