Ezekiel 34:1 ¶ The word1697 of Yahweh3068 came to me, saying,559 cr 2 Son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 against the shepherds7462 of Israel,3478 prophesy,5012 and tell559 them, even to the shepherds,7462 Thus says559 the Lord136 Yahweh:136 Woe1945 to the shepherds7462 of Israel3478 who feed7462 themselves! Shouldn't the shepherds7462 feed7462 the sheep?6629 cr 3 You eat398 the fat,2459 and you clothe3847 yourself with the wool,6785 you kill2076 the fatlings;1277 but you don't feed1277 the sheep.6629 cr 4 You haven't strengthened2388 the diseased,2470 neither have you healed7495 that which was sick,2470 neither have you bound up2280 that which was broken,7665 neither have you brought back7725 that which was driven away,5080 neither have you sought1245 that which was lost;6 but with force2394 and with rigor6531 you have ruled7287 over them. cr 5 They were scattered,6327 because there was no shepherd;7462 and they became food402 to all the animals2416 of the field,7704 and were scattered.6327 cr 6 My sheep6629 wandered7686 through all the mountains,2022 and on every high7311 hill:1389 yes, my sheep6629 were scattered6327 on all the surface6440 of the earth;776 and there was none who searched1875 or sought.1245 cr 7 Therefore, you shepherds,7462 hear8085 the word1697 of Yahweh:3068 cr 8 As I live,2416 says5002 the Lord136 Yahweh,136 surely because my sheep6629 became a prey,957 and my sheep6629 became food402 to all the animals2416 of the field,7704 because there was no shepherd,7462 neither did my shepherds7462 search1875 for my sheep,6629 but the shepherds7462 fed7462 themselves, and didn't feed7462 my sheep;6629 cr 9 therefore, you shepherds,7462 hear8085 the word1697 of Yahweh:3068 cr 10 Thus says559 the Lord136 Yahweh:3069 Behold, I am against the shepherds;7462 and I will require1875 my sheep6629 at their hand,3027 and cause them to cease7673 from feeding7462 the sheep;6629 neither shall the shepherds7462 feed7462 themselves any more; and I will deliver5337 my sheep6629 from their mouth,6310 that they may not be food402 for them. cr 11 For thus says559 the Lord136 Yahweh:136 Behold, I myself, even I, will search1875 for my sheep,6629 and will seek them out.1239 cr 12 As a shepherd7462 seeks out1243 his flock5739 in the day3117 that he is among8432 his sheep6629 that are scattered6567 abroad, so will I seek out1239 my sheep;6629 and I will deliver5337 them out of all places4725 where they have been scattered6327 in the cloudy6051 and dark6205 day.3117 cr 13 I will bring them out3318 from the peoples,5971 and gather6908 them from the countries,776 and will bring935 them into their own land;127 and I will feed7462 them on the mountains2022 of Israel,3478 by the watercourses,650 and in all the inhabited places4186 of the country.776 cr 14 I will feed7462 them with good2896 pasture;4829 and on the mountains2022 of the height4791 of Israel3478 shall their fold5116 be: there shall they lie7257 down in a good2896 fold;5116 and on fat8082 pasture4829 shall they feed7462 on the mountains2022 of Israel.3478 cr 15 I myself will be the shepherd7462 of my sheep,6629 and I will cause them to lie down,7257 says5002 the Lord136 Yahweh.3069 cr 16 I will seek1245 that which was lost,6 and will bring back7725 that which was driven away,5080 and will bind up2280 that which was broken,7665 and will strengthen2388 that which was sick:2470 but the fat8082 and the strong2389 I will destroy;8045 I will feed7462 them in justice.4941 cr 17 As for you,859 O my flock,6629 thus says559 the Lord136 Yahweh:136 Behold, I judge8199 between sheep7716 and sheep,7716 the rams352 and the male goats.6260 cr 18 Does it seem a small thing4592 to you to have fed7462 on the good2896 pasture,4829 but you must tread down7429 with your feet7272 the residue3499 of your pasture?4829 and to have drunk8354 of the clear4950 waters,4325 but you must foul7515 the residue3498 with your feet?7272 cr 19 As for my sheep,6629 they eat7462 that which you have trodden4823 with your feet,7272 and they drink8354 that which you have fouled4833 with your feet.7272 cr 20 Therefore thus says559 the Lord136 Yahweh136 to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge8199 between the fat1274 sheep7716 and the lean7330 sheep.7716 cr 21 Because you thrust1920 with side6654 and with shoulder,3802 and push5055 all the diseased2470 with your horns,7161 until you have scattered6327 them abroad;2351 cr 22 therefore will I save3467 my flock,6629 and they shall no more be a prey;957 and I will judge8199 between sheep7716 and sheep.7716 cr 23 I will set up6965 one259 shepherd7462 over them, and he shall feed7462 them, even my servant5650 David;1732 he shall feed7462 them, and he shall be their shepherd.7462 cr 24 I, Yahweh,3068 will be their God,430 and my servant5650 David1732 prince5387 among8432 them; I, Yahweh,3068 have spoken1696 it. cr 25 I will make3772 with them a covenant1285 of peace,7965 and will cause evil7451 animals2416 to cease7673 out of the land;776 and they shall dwell3427 securely983 in the wilderness,4057 and sleep3462 in the woods.3293 cr 26 I will make5414 them and the places around5439 my hill1389 a blessing;1293 and I will cause the shower1653 to come down3381 in its season;6256 there shall be showers1653 of blessing.1293 cr 27 The tree6086 of the field7704 shall yield5414 its fruit,6529 and the earth776 shall yield5414 its increase,2981 and they shall be secure983 in their land;127 and they shall know3045 that I am Yahweh,3068 when I have broken7665 the bars4133 of their yoke,5923 and have delivered5337 them out of the hand3027 of those who made slaves5647 of them. cr 28 They shall no more be a prey957 to the nations,1471 neither shall the animals2416 of the earth776 devour398 them; but they shall dwell3427 securely,983 and none shall make them afraid.2729 cr 29 I will raise up6965 to them a plantation4302 for renown,8034 and they shall be no more consumed622 with famine7458 in the land,776 neither bear5375 the shame3639 of the nations1471 any more. cr 30 They shall know3045 that I, Yahweh,3068 their God430 am with them, and that they, the house1004 of Israel,3478 are my people,5971 says5002 the Lord136 Yahweh.3069 cr 31 You859 my sheep,6629 the sheep6629 of my pasture,4830 are men,120 and I am your God,430 says5002 the Lord136 Yahweh.3069 cr
