Ezekiel 34:11-22

11For the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “BeholdH2009, I MyselfH589 will 1searchH1875 for My sheepH6629 and lookH1239 afterH1239 them. 122As a shepherdH7462 caresH1243 for his flockH5739 on a dayH3117 when he is amongH8432 his scatteredH6566 3sheepH6629, soH3651 I will 4careH1239 for My 5sheepH6629 and will rescueH5337 them from allH3605 the placesH4725 whereH834H8033 they were scatteredH6327 on a 6cloudyH6051 and gloomyH6205 dayH3117. 13I will bringH3318 them outH3318 from the peoplesH5971 and gatherH6908 them from the countriesH776 and bringH935 them to their own landH127; and I will 7feedH7462 them on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, by the 8streamsH650, and in allH3605 the inhabitedH4186 placesH4186 of the landH776. 14I will feedH7462 them in a 9goodH2896 pastureH4829, and their grazingH5116 placeH5116 will be on the mountainH2022 heightsH4791 of IsraelH3478. ThereH8033 they will lieH7257 downH7257 in a goodH2896 grazingH5116 placeH5116 and feedH7462 in 1011richH8082 pastureH4829 on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 15I MyselfH589 will 12feedH7462 My flockH6629 and I MyselfH589 will 13leadH7257 them toH7257 restH7257,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 16“I will seekH1245 the lostH6, bringH7725 backH7725 the scatteredH5080, bindH2280 upH2280 the brokenH7665, and strengthenH2388 the sickH2470; but the 14fatH8082 and the strongH2389 I will eliminateH8045. I will 15feedH7462 them with judgmentH4941.

17“As for you, My flockH6629, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2009, I am going to 16judgeH8199 betweenH996 one 17sheepH7716 and anotherH7716, between the ramsH352 and the maleH6260 goatsH6260. 18Is it tooH4480 18littleH4592 a thingH4592 for you to feedH7462 in the goodH2896 pastureH4829, that you must trampleH7429 with your feetH7272 the restH3499 of your pasturesH4829? Or too little for you to drinkH8354 the clearH4950 watersH4325, that you must muddyH7511 the restH3498 with your feetH7272? 19But as for My flockH6629, they must eatH7462 whatH4823 you trampleH4823 with your feetH7272, and drinkH8354 whatH4833 you muddyH4833 with your feetH7272!’”

20ThereforeH3651, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 to them: “BeholdH2009, I, I MyselfH589 will also judgeH8199 betweenH996 the fatH1277 sheepH7716 and the leanH7330 sheepH7716. 21SinceH3282 you pushH1920 awayH1920 with your sideH6654 and shoulderH3802, and 19goreH5055 allH3605 the 20weakH2470 with your hornsH7161 untilH5704H834 you have scatteredH6327 them 21abroadH2351, 22therefore, I will 22saveH3467 My flockH6629, and they will noH3808 longerH5750 be plunderH957; and I will judgeH8199 betweenH996 one sheepH7716 and anotherH7716.
