And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me, saying,H559
2
SonH1121 of man,H120 prophesyH5012 againstH5921 the shepherdsH7462 of Israel,H3478 prophesy,H5012 and sayH559 to them, ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to the shepherds;H7462 WoeH1945 be to the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478 that do feedH7462 themselves! should not the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 the flocks?H6629
3
You eatH398 the fat,H2459 and you clotheH3847 you with the wool,H6785 you killH2076 them that are fed:H1277 but you feedH7462 not the flock.H6629
4
The diseasedH2456 have you not strengthened,H2388 neitherH3808 have you healedH7495 that which was sick,H2470 neitherH3808 have you boundH2280 up that which was broken,H7665 neitherH3808 have you broughtH7725 againH7725 that which was drivenH5080 away, neitherH3808 have you soughtH1245 that which was lost;H6 but with forceH2394 and with crueltyH6531 have you ruledH7287 them.
5
And they were scattered,H6327 because there is noH1097 shepherd:H7462 and they becameH1961 meatH402 to allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the field,H7704 when they were scattered.H6327
6
My sheepH6629 wanderedH7686 through allH3605 the mountains,H2022 and on everyH3605 highH7311 hill:H1389 yes, my flockH6629 was scatteredH6327 on allH3605 the faceH6440 of the earth,H776 and noneH369 did searchH1875 or seekH1245 after them.
7
Therefore,H3651 you shepherds,H7462 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORD;H3068
8
As I live,H2416 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD,H3069 surelyH518 H3808 becauseH3282 my flockH6629 becameH1961 a prey,H957 and my flockH6629 becameH1961 meatH402 to everyH3605 beastH2416 of the field,H7704 because there was noH369 shepherd,H7462 neitherH3808 did my shepherdsH7462 searchH1875 for my flock,H6629 but the shepherdsH7462 fedH7462 themselves, and fedH7462 not my flock;H6629
9
Therefore,H3651 O you shepherds,H7462 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORD;H3068
10
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 Behold,H2005 I am againstH413 the shepherds;H7462 and I will requireH1875 my flockH6629 at their hand,H3027 and cause them to ceaseH7673 from feedingH7462 the flock;H6629 neitherH3808 shall the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 themselvesH853 any more;H5750 for I will deliverH5337 my flockH6629 from their mouth,H6310 that they may not be meatH402 for them.
11
For thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 Behold,H2005 I, even I, will both searchH1875 my sheep,H6629 and seekH1239 them out.
12
As a shepherdH7462 seeksH1243 out his flockH5739 in the dayH3117 that he is amongH8432 his sheepH6629 that are scattered;H6566 soH3651 will I seekH1239 out my sheep,H6629 and will deliverH5337 them out of allH3605 placesH4725 whereH834 H8033 they have been scatteredH6327 in the cloudyH6051 and darkH6205 day.H3117
13
And I will bringH3318 them out from the people,H5971 and gatherH6908 them from the countries,H776 and will bringH935 them to their own land,H127 and feedH7462 them on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 by the rivers,H650 and in allH3605 the inhabitedH4186 places of the country.H776
14
I will feedH7462 them in a goodH2896 pasture,H4829 and on the highH4791 mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall their foldH5116 be: thereH8033 shall they lieH7257 in a goodH2896 fold,H5116 and in a fatH8082 pastureH4829 shall they feedH7462 on the mountainsH2022 of Israel.H3478
15
I will feedH7462 my flock,H6629 and I will cause them to lieH7257 down,H7901 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
16
I will seekH1245 that which was lost,H6 and bringH7725 againH7725 that which was drivenH5080 away, and will bindH2280 up that which was broken,H7665 and will strengthenH2388 that which was sick:H2470 but I will destroyH8045 the fatH8082 and the strong;H2389 I will feedH7462 them with judgment.H4941
17
And as for you, O my flock,H6629 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 Behold,H2005 I judgeH8199 betweenH996 cattleH7716 and cattle,H7716 between the ramsH352 and the he goats.H6260
18
Seems it a smallH4592 thing to you to have eatenH7462 up the goodH2896 pasture,H4829 but you must treadH7429 down with your feetH7272 the residueH3499 of your pastures?H4829 and to have drunkH8354 of the deepH4950 waters,H4325 but you must foulH7515 the residueH3498 with your feet?H7272
19
And as for my flock,H6629 they eatH7462 that which you have troddenH7429 with your feet;H7272 and they drinkH8354 that which you have fouledH4833 with your feet.H7272
20
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to them; Behold,H2005 I, even I, will judgeH8199 betweenH996 the fatH1277 cattleH7716 and betweenH996 the leanH7330 cattle.H7716
21
BecauseH3282 you have thrustH1920 with sideH6654 and with shoulder,H3802 and pushedH5055 allH3605 the diseasedH2456 with your horns,H7161 tillH5704 you have scatteredH6327 them abroad;H2351
22
Therefore will I saveH3467 my flock,H6629 and they shall noH3808 moreH5750 be a prey;H957 and I will judgeH8199 betweenH996 cattleH7716 and cattle.H7716
23
And I will setH6965 up oneH259 shepherdH7462 overH5921 them, and he shall feedH7462 them, evenH853 my servantH5650 David;H1732 he shall feedH7462 them, and he shall be their shepherd.H7462
24
And I the LORDH3068 will be their God,H430 and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 a princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
25
And I will makeH3772 with them a covenantH1285 of peace,H7965 and will cause the evilH7451 beastsH2416 to ceaseH7673 out of the land:H776 and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 in the wilderness,H4057 and sleepH3462 in the woods.H3264
26
And I will makeH5414 them and the places roundH5439 about my hillH1389 a blessing;H1293 and I will cause the showerH1653 to comeH3381 downH3381 in his season;H6256 there shall be showersH1653 of blessing.H1293
27
And the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yieldH5414 her fruit,H6529 and the earthH776 shall yieldH5414 her increase,H2981 and they shall be safeH983 in their land,H127 and shall knowH3045 that I am the LORD,H3068 when I have brokenH7665 the bandsH4133 of their yoke,H5923 and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of those that servedH5647 themselves of them.
28
And they shall noH3808 moreH5750 be a preyH957 to the heathen,H1471 neitherH3808 shall the beastH2416 of the landH776 devourH398 them; but they shall dwellH3427 safely,H983 and noneH369 shall make them afraid.H2729
29
And I will raiseH6965 up for them a plantH4302 of renown,H8034 and they shall be noH3808 moreH5750 consumedH622 with hungerH7457 in the land,H776 neitherH3808 bearH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more.H5750
30
Thus shall they knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 their GodH430 am with them, and that they, even the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 are my people,H5971 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
31
And you my flock,H6629 the flockH6629 of my pasture,H4830 are men,H120 and I am your God,H430 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
