Ezekiel 34

Prophecy against the Shepherds of Israel

1

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me sayingh559,

2

"Sonh1121 of manh120, prophesyh5012 againsth5921 the  ashepherdsh7462a of Israelh3478. Prophesyh5012 and sayh559 to  1those shepherdsh7462a, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  2GODh3068, "Woeh1945, shepherdsh7462a of Israelh3478 whoh834 have beenh1961  3 bfeedingh7462a themselves! Should not the shepherdsh7462a  3 cfeedh7462a the flockh6629?

3

"You  aeath398 the fath2459 and clotheh3847 yourselvesh3847 with the woolh6785, you  bslaughterh2076 the fath1277 sheep withouth3808  1feedingh7462a the flockh6629.

4

"Those who are sicklyh2470a you have not strengthenedh2388, the  1diseasedh2470a you have not healedh7495,  athe brokenh7665 you have not boundh2280 up, the scatteredh5080 you have not broughth7725 backh7725, norh3808 have you  bsoughth1245 for the losth6; but with forceh2394 and with severityh6531 you have dominatedh7287a them.

5

"They were  ascatteredh6327a for lackh1097 of a shepherdh7462a, and they becameh1961  bfoodh402 for everyh3605 beasth2421b of the fieldh7704 and were scatteredh6327a.

6

"My flockh6629  awanderedh7686 through allh3605 the mountainsh2022 and on everyh3605 highh7311 hillh1389;  bMy flockh6629 was scatteredh6327a overh5921 allh3605 the surfaceh6440 of the earthh776, and thereh369 was  cnoh369 oneh369 to searchh1875 or seekh1245 for them.""'

7

Thereforeh3651, you shepherdsh7462a, hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068:

8

"As I liveh2416a," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "surelyh518h3808 becauseh3282 My flockh6629 has becomeh1961 a  apreyh957, My flockh6629 has even becomeh1961 foodh402 for allh3605 the beastsh2421b of the fieldh7704 for lackh369 of a shepherdh7462a, and My shepherdsh7462a did not searchh1875 for My flockh6629, but rather the shepherdsh7462a fedh7462a themselves and did not feedh7462a My flockh6629;

9

thereforeh3651, you shepherdsh7462a, hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068:

10

`Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "Beholdh2009, I am  aagainsth413 the shepherdsh7462a, and I will demandh1875 My  1sheeph6629  2from them and make them  bceaseh7673a from feedingh7462a  1sheeph6629. So the shepherdsh7462a will not  3feedh7462a themselves anymoreh5750, but I will  cdeliverh5337 My flockh6629 from their mouthh6310, so that they will not be foodh402 for them.""'

The Restoration of Israel

11

For thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "Beholdh2009, I Myselfh589 will  asearchh1875 for My sheeph6629 and seekh1239 them out.

12

aAs a shepherdh7462a  1caresh1243 for his herdh5739 in the dayh3117 when he is amongh8432 his scatteredh6567a  2sheeph6629, soh3651 I will  1 bcareh1239 for My  2sheeph6629 and will deliverh5337 them from allh3605 the placesh4725 to whichh834 they were scatteredh6327a on a  ccloudyh6051 and gloomyh6205 dayh3117.

13

"I will bringh3318 them out from the peoplesh5971a and gatherh6908 them from the countriesh776 and bringh935 them to their own landh127; and I will  afeedh7462a them on the mountainsh2022 of Israelh3478, by the  bstreamsh650, and in allh3605 the inhabitedh4186 placesh4186 of the landh776.

14

"I will feedh7462a them in a  agoodh2896a pastureh4829, and their grazingh5116a groundh5116a will be on the mountainh2022 heightsh4791 of Israelh3478. Thereh8033 they will lieh7257 downh7257 on goodh2896a grazingh5116a groundh5116a and feedh7462a in  1 brichh8082a pastureh4829 on the mountainsh2022 of Israelh3478.

15

"I will  afeedh7462a My flockh6629 and I will  1leadh7257 them to resth7257," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.

16

"I will seekh1245 the losth6, bringh7725 backh7725 the scatteredh5080, bindh2280 up the brokenh7665 and strengthenh2388 the sickh2470a; but the  afath8082a and the strongh2389 I will destroyh8045. I will  bfeedh7462a them with judgmenth4941.

17

"As for you, My flockh6629, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Beholdh2009, I will  ajudgeh8199 betweenh996 one  1sheeph7716 and anotherh7716, between the ramsh352a and the maleh6260 goatsh6260.

18

`Is it tooh4480  aslighth4592 a thingh4592 for you that you should feedh7462a in the goodh2896a pastureh4829, that you must treadh7429 downh7429 with your feeth7272 the resth3499a of your pasturesh4829? Or that you should drinkh8354 of the clearh4950 watersh4325, that you must  1foulh7511 the resth3498 with your feeth7272?

19

`As for My flockh6629, they must eath7462a whath4823 you treadh4823 downh4823 with your feeth7272 and drinkh8354 whath4833 you  1foulh4833 with your feeth7272!' "

20

Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068 to them, "Beholdh2009, I, even I, will judgeh8199 betweenh996 the fath1277 sheeph7716 and the leanh7330 sheeph7716.

21

"Becauseh3282 you pushh1920 with sideh6654 and with shoulderh3802, and  athrusth1920 at allh3605 the  1weakh2470a with your hornsh7161 untilh5704h834 you have scatteredh6327a them  2abroadh2351,

22

therefore, I will  adeliverh3467 My flockh6629, and they will noh3808 longerh5750 be a preyh957; and I will judgeh8199 betweenh996 one sheeph7716 and anotherh7716.

23

"Then I will  aseth6965 overh5921 them oneh259  bshepherdh7462a, My servanth5650  cDavidh1732, and he will feedh7462a them; he will feedh7462a them himselfh1931 and be their shepherdh7462a.

24

"And I, the LORDh3068, will be their Godh430, and My servanth5650  aDavidh1732 will be princeh5387a amongh8432 them; I the LORDh3068 have spokenh1696.

25

"I will makeh3772 a  acovenanth1285 of peaceh7965 with them and  beliminateh7673a harmfulh7451a beastsh2421b from the landh776 so that they may  cliveh3427 securelyh983 in the wildernessh4057b and sleeph3462 in the woodsh3293a.

26

"I will makeh5414 them and the placesh5439 aroundh5439 My hillh1389 a  ablessingh1293. And I will cause  bshowersh1653 to comeh3381 downh3381 in their seasonh6256; they will be showersh1653 of  cblessingh1293.

27

"Also the treeh6086 of the fieldh7704 will yieldh5414 its fruith6529 and the earthh776 will yieldh5414 its increaseh2981, and they will be  asecureh983 on their landh127. Then they will knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068, when I have  bbrokenh7665 the barsh4133 of their yokeh5923 and have deliveredh5337 them from the handh3027 of those who enslavedh5647 them.

28

"They will noh3808 longerh5750 be a preyh957 to the nationsh1471, and the beastsh2421b of the earthh776 will not devourh398 them; but they will  aliveh3427 securelyh983, and noh369 oneh369 will makeh2729 them afraidh2729.

29

"I will establishh6965 for them a  arenownedh8034 plantingh4302 placeh4302, and they will  bnot againh5750 be  1victimsh622 of famineh7458 in the landh776, and they will not  cendureh5375 the insultsh3639 of the nationsh1471 anymoreh5750.

30

"Then they will knowh3045 that  aI, the LORDh3068 their Godh430, am with them, and that they, the househ1004 of Israelh3478, are My peopleh5971a," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.

31

"As for you, My  asheeph6629, the  bsheeph6629 of My pastureh4830, you are menh120, and I am your Godh430," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.
