Ezekiel 34:7-16

7ThereforeH3651, you shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068: 8“As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “certainlyH518H3808, becauseH3282 My flockH6629 has becomeH1961 1plunderH957, and My flockH6629 has becomeH1961 foodH402 for allH3605 the animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704 for lackH369 of a shepherdH7462, and My shepherdsH7462 did not searchH1875 for My flockH6629, but rather the shepherdsH7462 fedH7462 themselves and did not feedH7462 My flockH6629, 9thereforeH3651, you shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068: 10‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am 2againstH413 the shepherdsH7462, and I will demandH1875 My 3sheepH6629 4from them and make them 5stopH7673 tendingH7462 sheepH6629. So the shepherdsH7462 will not 6feedH7462 themselves anymoreH5750, but I will 7saveH5337 My sheepH6629 from their mouthH6310, so that they will not be foodH402 for them.”’”

11For the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “BeholdH2009, I MyselfH589 will 8searchH1875 for My sheepH6629 and lookH1239 afterH1239 them. 129As a shepherdH7462 caresH1243 for his flockH5739 on a dayH3117 when he is amongH8432 his scatteredH6566 10sheepH6629, soH3651 I will 11careH1239 for My 12sheepH6629 and will rescueH5337 them from allH3605 the placesH4725 whereH834H8033 they were scatteredH6327 on a 13cloudyH6051 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 14feedH7462 them on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, by the 15streamsH650, and in allH3605 the inhabitedH4186 placesH4186 of the landH776. 14I will feedH7462 them in a 16goodH2896 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 1718richH8082 pastureH4829 on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 15I MyselfH589 will 19feedH7462 My flockH6629 and I MyselfH589 will 20leadH7257 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 21fatH8082 and the strongH2389 I will eliminateH8045. I will 22feedH7462 them with judgmentH4941.
