1 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> (8734) against the shepherds <07462> (8802) of Israel <03478>, prophesy <05012> (8734), and say <0559> (8804) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto the shepherds <07462> (8802); Woe <01945> be to the shepherds <07462> (8802) of Israel <03478> that do feed <07462> (8802) themselves! should not the shepherds <07462> (8802) feed <07462> (8799) the flocks <06629>?
3 Ye eat <0398> (8799) the fat <02459>, and ye clothe <03847> (8799) you with the wool <06785>, ye kill <02076> (8799) them that are fed <01277>: but ye feed <07462> (8799) not the flock <06629>.
4 The diseased <02470> (8737) have ye not strengthened <02388> (8765), neither have ye healed <07495> (8765) that which was sick <02470> (8802), neither have ye bound up <02280> (8804) that which was broken <07665> (8737) , neither have ye brought again <07725> (8689) that which was driven away <05080> (8737), neither have ye sought <01245> (8765) that which was lost <06> (8802); but with force <02394> and with cruelty <06531> have ye ruled <07287> (8804) them.
5 And they were scattered <06327> (8799), because there is no shepherd <07462> (8802): and they became meat <0402> to all the beasts <02416> of the field <07704>, when they were scattered <06327> (8799).
6 My sheep <06629> wandered <07686> (8799) through all the mountains <02022>, and upon every high <07311> (8802) hill <01389>: yea, my flock <06629> was scattered <06327> (8738) upon all the face <06440> of the earth <0776>, and none did search <01875> (8802) or seek <01245> (8764) after them.
7 # Therefore, ye shepherds <07462> (8802), hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;
8 As I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, surely because my flock <06629> became a prey <0957>, and my flock <06629> became meat <0402> to every beast <02416> of the field <07704>, because there was no shepherd <07462> (8802), neither did my shepherds <07462> (8802) search <01875> (8804) for my flock <06629> , but the shepherds <07462> (8802) fed <07462> (8799) themselves, and fed <07462> (8804) not my flock <06629>;
9 Therefore, O ye shepherds <07462> (8802), hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;
10 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold, I am against the shepherds <07462> (8802); and I will require <01875> (8804) my flock <06629> at their hand <03027>, and cause them to cease <07673> (8689) from feeding <07462> (8800) the flock <06629>; neither shall the shepherds <07462> (8802) feed <07462> (8799) themselves any more; for I will deliver <05337> (8689) my flock <06629> from their mouth <06310>, that they may not be meat <0402> for them.
11 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold, I, even I, will both search <01875> (8804) my sheep <06629>, and seek them out <01239> (8765).
12 As a shepherd <07462> (8802) seeketh out <01243> his flock <05739> in the day <03117> that he is among <08432> his sheep <06629> that are scattered <06567> (8737); so will I seek out <01239> (8762) my sheep <06629> , and will deliver <05337> (8689) them out of all places <04725> where they have been scattered <06327> (8738) in the cloudy <06051> and dark <06205> day <03117>.
13 And I will bring them out <03318> (8689) from the people <05971>, and gather <06908> (8765) them from the countries <0776>, and will bring <0935> (8689) them to their own land <0127>, and feed <07462> (8804) them upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478> by the rivers <0650>, and in all the inhabited places <04186> of the country <0776>.
14 I will feed <07462> (8799) them in a good <02896> pasture <04829>, and upon the high <04791> mountains <02022> of Israel <03478> shall their fold <05116> be: there shall they lie <07257> (8799) in a good <02896> fold <05116> , and in a fat <08082> pasture <04829> shall they feed <07462> (8799) upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>.
15 I will feed <07462> (8799) my flock <06629>, and I will cause them to lie down <07257> (8686), saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
16 I will seek <01245> (8762) that which was lost <06> (8802), and bring again <07725> (8686) that which was driven away <05080> (8737), and will bind up <02280> (8799) that which was broken <07665> (8737), and will strengthen <02388> (8762) that which was sick <02470> (8802): but I will destroy <08045> (8686) the fat <08082> and the strong <02389>; I will feed <07462> (8799) them with judgment <04941>.
17 # And as for you <0859>, O my flock <06629>, thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> ; Behold, I judge <08199> (8802) between cattle <07716> and cattle <07716>, between the rams <0352> and the he goats <06260> .
18 Seemeth it a small thing <04592> unto you to have eaten up <07462> (8799) the good <02896> pasture <04829> , but ye must tread down <07429> (8799) with your feet <07272> the residue <03499> of your pastures <04829>? and to have drunk <08354> (8799) of the deep <04950> waters <04325>, but ye must foul <07515> (8799) the residue <03498> (8737) with your feet <07272>?
19 And as for my flock <06629>, they eat <07462> (8799) that which ye have trodden <04823> with your feet <07272> ; and they drink <08354> (8799) that which ye have fouled <04833> with your feet <07272>.
20 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge <08199> (8804) between the fat <01274> cattle <07716> and between the lean <07330> cattle <07716>.
21 Because ye have thrust <01920> (8799) with side <06654> and with shoulder <03802>, and pushed <05055> (8762) all the diseased <02470> (8737) with your horns <07161>, till ye have scattered <06327> (8689) them abroad <02351> ;
22 Therefore will I save <03467> (8689) my flock <06629>, and they shall no more be a prey <0957>; and I will judge <08199> (8804) between cattle <07716> and cattle <07716>.
23 And I will set up <06965> (8689) one <0259> shepherd <07462> (8802) over them, and he shall feed <07462> (8804) them, even my servant <05650> David <01732>; he shall feed <07462> (8799) them, and he shall be their shepherd <07462> (8802).
24 And I the LORD <03068> will be their God <0430>, and my servant <05650> David <01732> a prince <05387> among <08432> them; I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) it.
25 And I will make <03772> (8804) with them a covenant <01285> of peace <07965>, and will cause the evil <07451> beasts <02416> to cease <07673> (8689) out of the land <0776>: and they shall dwell <03427> (8804) safely <0983> in the wilderness <04057>, and sleep <03462> (8804) in the woods <03293> (8675) <03264>.
26 And I will make <05414> (8804) them and the places round about <05439> my hill <01389> a blessing <01293>; and I will cause the shower <01653> to come down <03381> (8689) in his season <06256>; there shall be showers <01653> of blessing <01293> .
27 And the tree <06086> of the field <07704> shall yield <05414> (8804) her fruit <06529>, and the earth <0776> shall yield <05414> (8799) her increase <02981>, and they shall be safe <0983> in their land <0127>, and shall know <03045> (8804) that I am the LORD <03068>, when I have broken <07665> (8800) the bands <04133> of their yoke <05923> , and delivered <05337> (8689) them out of the hand <03027> of those that served <05647> (8802) themselves of them.
28 And they shall no more be a prey <0957> to the heathen <01471>, neither shall the beast <02416> of the land <0776> devour <0398> (8799) them; but they shall dwell <03427> (8804) safely <0983>, and none shall make them afraid <02729> (8688).
29 And I will raise up <06965> (8689) for them a plant <04302> of renown <08034>, and they shall be no more consumed <0622> (8803) with hunger <07458> in the land <0776>, neither bear <05375> (8799) the shame <03639> of the heathen <01471> any more.
30 Thus shall they know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> their God <0430> am with them, and that they, even the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, are my people <05971>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
31 And ye <0859> my flock <06629>, the flock <06629> of my pasture <04830>, are men <0120>, and I am your God <0430>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
