Ezekiel 34:2-16
2SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478, prophesyH5012, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069 unto the shepherdsH7462; WoeH1945 be to the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478 that do feedH7462 themselves! should not the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 the flocksH6629? 3Ye eatH398 the fatH2459, and ye clotheH3847 you with the woolH6785, ye killH2076 them that are fedH1277: but ye feedH7462 not the flockH6629. 4The diseasedH2470 have ye not strengthenedH2388, neither have ye healedH7495 that which was sickH2470, neither have ye bound upH2280 that which was brokenH7665, neither have ye brought againH7725 that which was driven awayH5080, neither have ye soughtH1245 that which was lostH6; but with forceH2394 and with crueltyH6531 have ye ruledH7287 them. 5And they were scatteredH6327, because there is no shepherdH7462: and they became meatH402 to all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, when they were scatteredH6327.1 6My sheepH6629 wanderedH7686 through all the mountainsH2022, and upon every highH7311 hillH1389: yea, my flockH6629 was scatteredH6327 upon all the faceH6440 of the earthH776, and none did searchH1875 or seekH1245 after them.
7Therefore, ye shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068; 8As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, surely because my flockH6629 became a preyH957, and my flockH6629 became meatH402 to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, because there was no shepherdH7462, neither did my shepherdsH7462 searchH1875 for my flockH6629, but the shepherdsH7462 fedH7462 themselves, and fedH7462 not my flockH6629;2 9Therefore, O ye shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068; 10Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; Behold, I am against the shepherdsH7462; and I will requireH1875 my flockH6629 at their handH3027, and cause them to ceaseH7673 from feedingH7462 the flockH6629; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 themselves any more; for I will deliverH5337 my flockH6629 from their mouthH6310, that they may not be meatH402 for them.
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 dayH3117.3 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.
