Ezekiel 34:13-31

13I will bringH3318 them outH3318 from the peoplesH5971 and gatherH6908 them from the countriesH776 and bringH935 them to their own landH127; and I will 1feedH7462 them on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, by the 2streamsH650, and in allH3605 the inhabitedH4186 placesH4186 of the landH776. 14I will feedH7462 them in a 3goodH2896 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 4 5richH8082 pastureH4829 on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 15I MyselfH589 will 6feedH7462 My flockH6629 and I MyselfH589 will 7leadH7257 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 8fatH8082 and the strongH2389 I will eliminateH8045. I will 9feedH7462 them with judgmentH4941.

17“As for you, My flockH6629, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2009, I am going to 10judgeH8199 betweenH996 one 11sheepH7716 and anotherH7716, between the ramsH352 and the maleH6260 goatsH6260. 18Is it tooH4480 12littleH4592 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 13goreH5055 allH3605 the 14weakH2470 with your hornsH7161 untilH5704 H834 you have scatteredH6327 them 15abroadH2351, 22therefore, I will 16saveH3467 My flockH6629, and they will noH3808 longerH5750 be plunderH957; and I will judgeH8199 betweenH996 one sheepH7716 and anotherH7716.

23“Then I will 17appointH6965 overH5921 them oneH259 18shepherdH7462, My servantH5650 19DavidH1732, and he will feedH7462 them; he will feedH7462 them himselfH1931 and be their shepherdH7462. 24And I, the LordH3068, will be their GodH430, and My servantH5650 20DavidH1732 will be princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I the LordH3068 have spokenH1696.

25“And I will makeH3772 a 21covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 with them and 22eliminateH7673 harmfulH7451 animalsH2421 from the landH776, so that they may 23liveH3427 securelyH983 in the wildernessH4057 and sleepH3462 in the woodsH3293. 26I will makeH5414 them and the placesH5439 aroundH5439 My hillH1389 a 24blessingH1293. And I will make 25showersH1653 fallH3381 in their seasonH6256; they will be showersH1653 of 26blessingH1293. 27Also the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 will yieldH5414 its fruitH6529 and the earthH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH2981, and they will be 27secureH983 on their landH127. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when I have 28brokenH7665 the barsH4133 of their yokeH5923 and have savedH5337 them from the handH3027 of those who enslavedH5647 them. 28They will noH3808 longerH5750 be plunderH957 to the nationsH1471, and the animalsH2421 of the earthH776 will not devourH398 them; but they will 29liveH3427 securelyH983, and noH369 oneH369 will makeH2729 them afraidH2729. 29I will establishH6965 for them a 30renownedH8034 plantingH4302 placeH4302, and they will 31not againH5750 be 32victimsH622 of famineH7458 in the landH776, and they will not 33endureH5375 the insultsH3639 of the nationsH1471 anymoreH5750. 30Then they will knowH3045 that 34I, the LordH3068 their GodH430, am with them, and that they, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are My peopleH5971,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 31“As for you, My 35sheepH6629, 36the 37sheepH6629 of My pastureH4830, you are mankindH120, and I am your GodH430,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
