Ezekiel 34:1-16

34:1

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

34:2

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>_?

34:3

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>_.

34:4

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.

34:5

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)_.

{because...: or, without a shepherd}

34:6

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].

34:7

Therefore, ye shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

34:8

[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>_;

{because...: or, without a shepherd}

34:9

Therefore, O ye shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

34:10

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.

34:11

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)_.

34:12

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>_.

{As...: Heb. According to the seeking}

34:13

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>_.

34:14

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>_.

34:15

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>_.

34:16

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>_.
