Ezekiel 34:10

34:10 This is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand my sheep from their hand. I will no longer let them be shepherds; ¹  the shepherds will not feed themselves anymore. I will rescue my sheep from their mouth, so that they will no longer be food for them.

Ezekiel 34:12

34:12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will seek out my flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they have been scattered on a cloudy, dark day. ² 

[34:10]  ¹ tn Heb “I will cause them to cease from feeding sheep.”

[34:12]  ² sn The imagery may reflect the overthrow of the Israelites by the Babylonians in 587/6 b.c.
