1“1WoeH1945 to the shepherdsH7462 who are causing the 2sheepH6629 of My pastureH4830 to 3perishH6 and are scatteringH6327 them!” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 2ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559 concerningH5921 the shepherdsH7462 who are 4tendingH7462 My peopleH5971: “You have scatteredH6327 My flockH6629 and drivenH5080 them awayH5080, and have not been concernedH6485 about them; beholdH2009, I am going to 5callH6485 you toH6485 accountH6485 for the 6evilH7455 of your deedsH4611,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 3“Then I MyselfH589 will 7gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of My flockH6629 out of allH3605 the countriesH776 whereH834H8033 I have drivenH5080 them, and bringH7725 them backH7725 to their pastureH5116, and they will beH6509 fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235. 4I will also raiseH6965 upH6965 8shepherdsH7462 overH5921 them and they will 9tendH7462 them; and they will 10not beH3372 afraidH3372 anyH5750 longerH5750, norH3808 be terrifiedH2865, 11norH3808 will any beH6485 missingH6485,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

5“BeholdH2009, the 12daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “When I will raiseH6965 upH6965 for DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 1314BranchH6780; And He will 15reignH4427 as kingH4428 and 16actH7919 wiselyH7919 And 17doH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.6In His daysH3117 JudahH3063 will be savedH3467, And 18IsraelH3478 will liveH7931 securelyH983; And thisH2088 is His 19nameH8034 by whichH834 He will be calledH7121, ‘The 20LordH3068 Our RighteousnessH6664.’

7“21ThereforeH3651 beholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “when they will noH3808 longerH5750 sayH559, ‘As the LordH3068 livesH2416, whoH834 broughtH5927 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714,’ 822but, ‘As the LordH3068 livesH2416, whoH834 23broughtH5927 upH5927 and ledH935 the descendantsH2233 of the householdH1004 of IsraelH3478 back from the northH6828 landH776 and from allH3605 the countriesH776 whereH834H8033 I had drivenH5080 them.’ Then they will liveH3427 on their own soilH127.”
