Chapter 34

1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

2 Son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 against5921 the shepherds7462 of Israel,3478 prophesy,5012 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto the shepherds;7462 Woe1945 be to the shepherds7462 of Israel3478 that834 do feed1961 7462 themselves! should not3808 the shepherds7462 feed7462 the flocks?6629

3 Ye eat398 853 the fat,2459 and ye clothe3847 you with854 the wool,6785 ye kill2076 them that are fed:1277 but ye feed7462 not3808 the flock.6629

4 853 The diseased2470 have ye not3808 strengthened,2388 neither3808 have ye healed7495 that which was sick,2470 neither3808 have ye bound up2280 that which was broken,7665 neither3808 have ye brought again7725 that which was driven away,5080 neither3808 have ye sought1245 that which was lost;6 but with force2394 and with cruelty6531 have ye ruled7287 them.

5 And they were scattered,6327 because there is no4480 1097 shepherd:7462 and they became1961 meat402 to all3605 the beasts2416 of the field,7704 when they were scattered.6327

6 My sheep6629 wandered7686 through all3605 the mountains,2022 and upon5921 every3605 high7311 hill:1389 yea, my flock6629 was scattered6327 upon5921 all3605 the face6440 of the earth,776 and none369 did search1875 or seek1245 after them.

7 Therefore,3651 ye shepherds,7462 hear8085 853 the word1697 of the LORD;3068

8 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 surely518 3808 because3282 my flock6629 became1961 a prey,957 and my flock6629 became1961 meat402 to every3605 beast2416 of the field,7704 because there was no4480 369 shepherd,7462 neither3808 did my shepherds7462 search1875 853 for my flock,6629 but the shepherds7462 fed7462 themselves, and fed7462 not3808 my flock;6629

9 Therefore,3651 O ye shepherds,7462 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD;3068

10 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against413 the shepherds;7462 and I will require1875 853 my flock6629 at their hand,4480 3027 and cause them to cease7673 from feeding4480 7462 the flock;6629 neither3808 shall the shepherds7462 feed7462 themselves any more;5750 for I will deliver5337 my flock6629 from their mouth,4480 6310 that they may not3808 be1961 meat402 for them.

11 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I, even I,589 will both search1875 853 my sheep,6629 and seek them out.1239

12 As a shepherd7462 seeketh out1243 his flock5739 in the day3117 that he is1961 among8432 his sheep6629 that are scattered;6566 so3651 will I seek out1239 853 my sheep,6629 and will deliver5337 them out of all4480 3605 places4725 where834 8033 they have been scattered6327 in the cloudy6051 and dark6205 day.3117

13 And I will bring them out3318 from4480 the people,5971 and gather6908 them from4480 the countries,776 and will bring935 them to413 their own land,127 and feed7462 them upon413 the mountains2022 of Israel3478 by the rivers,650 and in all3605 the inhabited places4186 of the country.776

14 I will feed7462 them in a good2896 pasture,4829 and upon the high4791 mountains2022 of Israel3478 shall their fold5116 be:1961 there8033 shall they lie7257 in a good2896 fold,5116 and in a fat8082 pasture4829 shall they feed7462 upon413 the mountains2022 of Israel.3478

15 I589 will feed7462 my flock,6629 and I589 will cause them to lie down,7257 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

16 I will seek1245 853 that which was lost,6 and bring again7725 that which was driven away,5080 and will bind up2280 that which was broken,7665 and will strengthen2388 that which was sick:2470 but I will destroy8045 the fat8082 and the strong;2389 I will feed7462 them with judgment.4941

17 And as for you,859 O my flock,6629 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I judge8199 between996 cattle7716 and cattle,7716 between the rams352 and the he goats.6260

18 Seemeth it a small thing4592 unto4480 you to have eaten up7462 the good2896 pasture,4829 but ye must tread down7429 with your feet7272 the residue3499 of your pastures?4829 and to have drunk8354 of the deep4950 waters,4325 but ye must foul7515 the residue3498 with your feet?7272

19 And as for my flock,6629 they eat7462 that which ye have trodden4823 with your feet;7272 and they drink8354 that which ye have fouled4833 with your feet.7272

20 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto413 them; Behold,2009 I,589 even I, will judge8199 between996 the fat1277 cattle7716 and between996 the lean7330 cattle.7716

21 Because3282 ye have thrust1920 with side6654 and with shoulder,3802 and pushed5055 all3605 the diseased2470 with your horns,7161 till5704 834 ye have scattered6327 them abroad;413 2351

22 Therefore will I save3467 my flock,6629 and they shall no3808 more5750 be1961 a prey;957 and I will judge8199 between996 cattle7716 and cattle.7716

23 And I will set up6965 one259 shepherd7462 over5921 them, and he shall feed7462 them, even853 my servant5650 David;1732 he shall feed7462 them, and he1931 shall be1961 their shepherd.7462

24 And I589 the LORD3068 will be1961 their God,430 and my servant5650 David1732 a prince5387 among8432 them; I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.

25 And I will make3772 with them a covenant1285 of peace,7965 and will cause the evil7451 beasts2416 to cease7673 out of4480 the land:776 and they shall dwell3427 safely983 in the wilderness,4057 and sleep3462 in the woods.3293

26 And I will make5414 them and the places round about5439 my hill1389 a blessing;1293 and I will cause the shower1653 to come down3381 in his season;6256 there shall be1961 showers1653 of blessing.1293

27 And the tree6086 of the field7704 shall yield5414 853 her fruit,6529 and the earth776 shall yield5414 her increase,2981 and they shall be1961 safe983 in5921 their land,127 and shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have broken7665 853 the bands4133 of their yoke,5923 and delivered5337 them out of the hand4480 3027 of those that served5647 themselves of them.

28 And they shall no3808 more5750 be1961 a prey957 to the heathen,1471 neither3808 shall the beast2416 of the land776 devour398 them; but they shall dwell3427 safely,983 and none369 shall make them afraid.2729

29 And I will raise up6965 for them a plant4302 of renown,8034 and they shall be1961 no3808 more5750 consumed622 with hunger7458 in the land,776 neither3808 bear5375 the shame3639 of the heathen1471 any more.5750

30 Thus shall they know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 their God430 am with854 them, and that they,1992 even the house1004 of Israel,3478 are my people,5971 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

31 And ye859 my flock,6629 the flock6629 of my pasture,4830 are men,120 and I589 am your God,430 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

Ezekiel

Chapter 34

1 AND the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, O shepherds, thus says the LORD God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed them! These shepherds do not feed the flock.

3 You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool and sacrifice the fat ones; but you do not feed the flock.

4 The weak you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, and that which was injured you have not bound up, and that which had gone astray you have not brought back, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with violence and with cruelty you have ruled them.

5 And my sheep were scattered because they had no shepherd; and they became food for all the wild beasts of the field.

6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill; yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there is no one to search after them nor is there any one to gather them.

7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

8 As I live, says the LORD God, because my flock became a prey and my sheep have become food for all the wild beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd; neither did the shepherds feed my flocks, but the shepherds fed themselves and have not fed my flock;

9 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

10 Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding my flock again; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them any more.

11 For thus says the LORD God: Behold, I, even I, will search for my sheep and seek them out.

12 As the shepherd seeks out his flock on the day of violent rain with wind, so will I seek out my sheep, and will gather them from all countries where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13 And I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall be their fold; there shall they lie in a good fold, and on a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

15 I myself will feed my sheep and I will cause them to lie down, says the LORD God.

16 I will seek that which was lost and bring back that which was gone astray and bind up that which was injured and strengthen that which was sick; and I will protect the fat and the strong; and I will feed them with justice.

17 And as for you, O my flock, thus says the LORD God: Behold, I will judge between ewe and ewe, and between ram and ram.

18 Is it not enough for you, O shepherds, to feed on good pastures, but you must tread down under your feet the rest of your pasture? And to have drunk water, but you must foul with your feet that which is left?

19 And as for my flock, they feed on that which you have trodden; and they drink that which you have fouled.

20 Therefore thus says the LORD God to them: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat ewe and the lean ewe.

21 Because they have thrust with their sides and shoulders, and pushed all the weak with their horns, till they have scattered them abroad;

22 Therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey for them; and I will judge between ewe and ewe and between ram and ram.

23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them and shall be their shepherd.

24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David shall be a prince among them;

25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease from the land; and they shall dwell safely in the desert and sleep in the forest.

26 And I will give them my blessing round about my hill; and I will send down the rain in its season; and it shall be a shower of blessing.

27 And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall dwell securely in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those who had subjugated them.

28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the wild beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely and none shall harm them.

29 And I will raise up for them a plantation of peace; and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more.

30 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the LORD God.

31 And you are my sheep, the flock of my pasture; you are men, and I am your God, says the LORD.

Chapter 34

1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

1 AND the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 against5921 the shepherds7462 of Israel,3478 prophesy,5012 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto the shepherds;7462 Woe1945 be to the shepherds7462 of Israel3478 that834 do feed1961 7462 themselves! should not3808 the shepherds7462 feed7462 the flocks?6629

2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, O shepherds, thus says the LORD God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed them! These shepherds do not feed the flock.

3 Ye eat398 853 the fat,2459 and ye clothe3847 you with854 the wool,6785 ye kill2076 them that are fed:1277 but ye feed7462 not3808 the flock.6629

3 You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool and sacrifice the fat ones; but you do not feed the flock.

4 853 The diseased2470 have ye not3808 strengthened,2388 neither3808 have ye healed7495 that which was sick,2470 neither3808 have ye bound up2280 that which was broken,7665 neither3808 have ye brought again7725 that which was driven away,5080 neither3808 have ye sought1245 that which was lost;6 but with force2394 and with cruelty6531 have ye ruled7287 them.

4 The weak you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, and that which was injured you have not bound up, and that which had gone astray you have not brought back, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with violence and with cruelty you have ruled them.

5 And they were scattered,6327 because there is no4480 1097 shepherd:7462 and they became1961 meat402 to all3605 the beasts2416 of the field,7704 when they were scattered.6327

5 And my sheep were scattered because they had no shepherd; and they became food for all the wild beasts of the field.

6 My sheep6629 wandered7686 through all3605 the mountains,2022 and upon5921 every3605 high7311 hill:1389 yea, my flock6629 was scattered6327 upon5921 all3605 the face6440 of the earth,776 and none369 did search1875 or seek1245 after them.

6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill; yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there is no one to search after them nor is there any one to gather them.

7 Therefore,3651 ye shepherds,7462 hear8085 853 the word1697 of the LORD;3068

7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

8 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 surely518 3808 because3282 my flock6629 became1961 a prey,957 and my flock6629 became1961 meat402 to every3605 beast2416 of the field,7704 because there was no4480 369 shepherd,7462 neither3808 did my shepherds7462 search1875 853 for my flock,6629 but the shepherds7462 fed7462 themselves, and fed7462 not3808 my flock;6629

8 As I live, says the LORD God, because my flock became a prey and my sheep have become food for all the wild beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd; neither did the shepherds feed my flocks, but the shepherds fed themselves and have not fed my flock;

9 Therefore,3651 O ye shepherds,7462 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD;3068

9 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

10 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against413 the shepherds;7462 and I will require1875 853 my flock6629 at their hand,4480 3027 and cause them to cease7673 from feeding4480 7462 the flock;6629 neither3808 shall the shepherds7462 feed7462 themselves any more;5750 for I will deliver5337 my flock6629 from their mouth,4480 6310 that they may not3808 be1961 meat402 for them.

10 Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding my flock again; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them any more.

11 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I, even I,589 will both search1875 853 my sheep,6629 and seek them out.1239

11 For thus says the LORD God: Behold, I, even I, will search for my sheep and seek them out.

12 As a shepherd7462 seeketh out1243 his flock5739 in the day3117 that he is1961 among8432 his sheep6629 that are scattered;6566 so3651 will I seek out1239 853 my sheep,6629 and will deliver5337 them out of all4480 3605 places4725 where834 8033 they have been scattered6327 in the cloudy6051 and dark6205 day.3117

12 As the shepherd seeks out his flock on the day of violent rain with wind, so will I seek out my sheep, and will gather them from all countries where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13 And I will bring them out3318 from4480 the people,5971 and gather6908 them from4480 the countries,776 and will bring935 them to413 their own land,127 and feed7462 them upon413 the mountains2022 of Israel3478 by the rivers,650 and in all3605 the inhabited places4186 of the country.776

13 And I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14 I will feed7462 them in a good2896 pasture,4829 and upon the high4791 mountains2022 of Israel3478 shall their fold5116 be:1961 there8033 shall they lie7257 in a good2896 fold,5116 and in a fat8082 pasture4829 shall they feed7462 upon413 the mountains2022 of Israel.3478

14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall be their fold; there shall they lie in a good fold, and on a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

15 I589 will feed7462 my flock,6629 and I589 will cause them to lie down,7257 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

15 I myself will feed my sheep and I will cause them to lie down, says the LORD God.

16 I will seek1245 853 that which was lost,6 and bring again7725 that which was driven away,5080 and will bind up2280 that which was broken,7665 and will strengthen2388 that which was sick:2470 but I will destroy8045 the fat8082 and the strong;2389 I will feed7462 them with judgment.4941

16 I will seek that which was lost and bring back that which was gone astray and bind up that which was injured and strengthen that which was sick; and I will protect the fat and the strong; and I will feed them with justice.

17 And as for you,859 O my flock,6629 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I judge8199 between996 cattle7716 and cattle,7716 between the rams352 and the he goats.6260

17 And as for you, O my flock, thus says the LORD God: Behold, I will judge between ewe and ewe, and between ram and ram.

18 Seemeth it a small thing4592 unto4480 you to have eaten up7462 the good2896 pasture,4829 but ye must tread down7429 with your feet7272 the residue3499 of your pastures?4829 and to have drunk8354 of the deep4950 waters,4325 but ye must foul7515 the residue3498 with your feet?7272

18 Is it not enough for you, O shepherds, to feed on good pastures, but you must tread down under your feet the rest of your pasture? And to have drunk water, but you must foul with your feet that which is left?

19 And as for my flock,6629 they eat7462 that which ye have trodden4823 with your feet;7272 and they drink8354 that which ye have fouled4833 with your feet.7272

19 And as for my flock, they feed on that which you have trodden; and they drink that which you have fouled.

20 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto413 them; Behold,2009 I,589 even I, will judge8199 between996 the fat1277 cattle7716 and between996 the lean7330 cattle.7716

20 Therefore thus says the LORD God to them: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat ewe and the lean ewe.

21 Because3282 ye have thrust1920 with side6654 and with shoulder,3802 and pushed5055 all3605 the diseased2470 with your horns,7161 till5704 834 ye have scattered6327 them abroad;413 2351

21 Because they have thrust with their sides and shoulders, and pushed all the weak with their horns, till they have scattered them abroad;

22 Therefore will I save3467 my flock,6629 and they shall no3808 more5750 be1961 a prey;957 and I will judge8199 between996 cattle7716 and cattle.7716

22 Therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey for them; and I will judge between ewe and ewe and between ram and ram.

23 And I will set up6965 one259 shepherd7462 over5921 them, and he shall feed7462 them, even853 my servant5650 David;1732 he shall feed7462 them, and he1931 shall be1961 their shepherd.7462

23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them and shall be their shepherd.

24 And I589 the LORD3068 will be1961 their God,430 and my servant5650 David1732 a prince5387 among8432 them; I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.

24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David shall be a prince among them;

25 And I will make3772 with them a covenant1285 of peace,7965 and will cause the evil7451 beasts2416 to cease7673 out of4480 the land:776 and they shall dwell3427 safely983 in the wilderness,4057 and sleep3462 in the woods.3293

25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease from the land; and they shall dwell safely in the desert and sleep in the forest.

26 And I will make5414 them and the places round about5439 my hill1389 a blessing;1293 and I will cause the shower1653 to come down3381 in his season;6256 there shall be1961 showers1653 of blessing.1293

26 And I will give them my blessing round about my hill; and I will send down the rain in its season; and it shall be a shower of blessing.

27 And the tree6086 of the field7704 shall yield5414 853 her fruit,6529 and the earth776 shall yield5414 her increase,2981 and they shall be1961 safe983 in5921 their land,127 and shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have broken7665 853 the bands4133 of their yoke,5923 and delivered5337 them out of the hand4480 3027 of those that served5647 themselves of them.

27 And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall dwell securely in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those who had subjugated them.

28 And they shall no3808 more5750 be1961 a prey957 to the heathen,1471 neither3808 shall the beast2416 of the land776 devour398 them; but they shall dwell3427 safely,983 and none369 shall make them afraid.2729

28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the wild beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely and none shall harm them.

29 And I will raise up6965 for them a plant4302 of renown,8034 and they shall be1961 no3808 more5750 consumed622 with hunger7458 in the land,776 neither3808 bear5375 the shame3639 of the heathen1471 any more.5750
