Ezekiel 34:7-16

7Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8“As I live,” declares the Lord God, “certainly, because My flock has become 1plunder, and My flock has become food for all the animals 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‘This is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am 2against the shepherds, and I will demand My 3sheep 4from them and make them 5stop tending sheep. So the shepherds will not 6feed themselves anymore, but I will 7save My sheep from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them.”’”

11For the Lord God says this: “Behold, I Myself will 8search for My sheep and look after them. 129As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered 10sheep, so I will 11care for My 12sheep and will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a 13cloudy 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 14feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the 15streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14I will feed them in a 16good 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 1718rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I Myself will 19feed My flock and I Myself will 20lead 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 21fat and the strong I will eliminate. I will 22feed them with judgment.
