Ezekiel 34:11-31

11For thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; Behold, I, even I, will both searchH1875 my sheepH6629, and seek them outH1239. 12As a shepherdH7462 seeketh outH1243 his flockH5739 in the dayH3117 that he is amongH8432 his sheepH6629 that are scatteredH6567; so will I seek outH1239 my sheepH6629, and will deliverH5337 them out of all placesH4725 where they have been scatteredH6327 in the cloudyH6051 and darkH6205 dayH3117.1 13And I will bring them outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and gatherH6908 them from the countriesH776, and will bringH935 them to their own landH127, and feedH7462 them upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 by the riversH650, and in all the inhabited placesH4186 of the countryH776. 14I will feedH7462 them in a goodH2896 pastureH4829, and upon the highH4791 mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall their foldH5116 be: there shall they lieH7257 in a goodH2896 foldH5116, and in a fatH8082 pastureH4829 shall they feedH7462 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 15I will feedH7462 my flockH6629, and I will cause them to lie downH7257, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069. 16I will seekH1245 that which was lostH6, and bring againH7725 that which was driven awayH5080, and will bind upH2280 that which was brokenH7665, and will strengthenH2388 that which was sickH2470: but I will destroyH8045 the fatH8082 and the strongH2389; I will feedH7462 them with judgmentH4941. 17And as for youH859, O my flockH6629, thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; Behold, I judgeH8199 between cattleH7716 and cattleH7716, between the ramsH352 and the he goatsH6260.23 18Seemeth it a small thingH4592 unto you to have eaten upH7462 the goodH2896 pastureH4829, but ye must tread downH7429 with your feetH7272 the residueH3499 of your pasturesH4829? and to have drunkH8354 of the deepH4950 watersH4325, but ye must foulH7515 the residueH3498 with your feetH7272? 19And as for my flockH6629, they eatH7462 that which ye have troddenH4823 with your feetH7272; and they drinkH8354 that which ye have fouledH4833 with your feetH7272.

20Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069 unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judgeH8199 between the fatH1274 cattleH7716 and between the leanH7330 cattleH7716. 21Because ye have thrustH1920 with sideH6654 and with shoulderH3802, and pushedH5055 all the diseasedH2470 with your hornsH7161, till ye have scatteredH6327 them abroadH2351; 22Therefore will I saveH3467 my flockH6629, and they shall no more be a preyH957; and I will judgeH8199 between cattleH7716 and cattleH7716. 23And I will set upH6965 oneH259 shepherdH7462 over them, and he shall feedH7462 them, even my servantH5650 DavidH1732; he shall feedH7462 them, and he shall be their shepherdH7462. 24And I YhwhH3068 will be their GodH430, and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 a princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I YhwhH3068 have spokenH1696 it. 25And I will makeH3772 with them a covenantH1285 of peaceH7965, and will cause the evilH7451 beastsH2416 to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776: and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 in the wildernessH4057, and sleepH3462 in the woodsH3264H3293. 26And I will makeH5414 them and the places round aboutH5439 my hillH1389 a blessingH1293; and I will cause the showerH1653 to come downH3381 in his seasonH6256; there shall be showersH1653 of blessingH1293. 27And the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yieldH5414 her fruitH6529, and the earthH776 shall yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, and they shall be safeH983 in their landH127, and shall knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068, when I have brokenH7665 the bandsH4133 of their yokeH5923, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of those that servedH5647 themselves of them. 28And they shall no more be a preyH957 to the heathenH1471, neither shall the beastH2416 of the landH776 devourH398 them; but they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983, and none shall make them afraidH2729. 29And I will raise upH6965 for them a plantH4302 of renownH8034, and they shall be no more consumedH622 with hungerH7458 in the landH776, neither bearH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more.45 30Thus shall they knowH3045 that I YhwhH3068 their GodH430 am with them, and that they, even the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069. 31And yeH859 my flockH6629, the flockH6629 of my pastureH4830, are menH120, and I am your GodH430, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069.
