Ezekiel 34:10-19

10‘This is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am 1against the shepherds, and I will demand My 2sheep 3from them and make them 4stop tending sheep. So the shepherds will not 5feed themselves anymore, but I will 6save My sheep from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them.”’”

11For the Lord God says this: “Behold, I Myself will 7search for My sheep and look after them. 128As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered 9sheep, so I will 10care for My 11sheep and will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a 12cloudy 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 13feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the 14streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14I will feed them in a 15good pasture, and their grazing place will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in a good grazing place and feed in 1617rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I Myself will 18feed My flock and I Myself will 19lead 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 20fat and the strong I will eliminate. I will 21feed them with judgment.

17“As for you, My flock, this is what the Lord God says: ‘Behold, I am going to 22judge between one 23sheep and another, between the rams and the male goats. 18Is it too 24little a thing for you to feed in the good pasture, that you must trample with your feet the rest of your pastures? Or too little for you to drink the clear waters, that you must muddy the rest with your feet? 19But as for My flock, they must eat what you trample with your feet, and drink what you muddy with your feet!’”
