Ezekiel 34:9-16
9therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 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.
