Ezekiel 34:10-19
10 ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I am aagainst the shepherds, and I will seek My flock from their hand and make them bcease from shepherding the flock. So the shepherds will not shepherd themselves anymore, but I will cdeliver My flock from their mouth so that they will not be food for them.”’”
Yahweh Will Shepherd His Flock
11 For thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I Myself will aseek My sheep and care for them. 12 aAs a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his sheep which are spread out, so I will bcare for My sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a ccloudy and gloomy day. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will ashepherd them on the mountains of Israel, by the bstreams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will shepherd them in a agood pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and be shepherded in brich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will ashepherd My flock, and I will make them lie down,” declares Lord Yahweh. 16 “I will search for the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the afat and the strong I will destroy. I will bshepherd them with judgment.
17 “As for you, My flock, thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘Behold, I will ajudge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the male goats. 18 Is it too aslight a thing for you that you should be shepherded in the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures? Or that you should drink of the clear waters, that you must foul the rest with your feet? 19 As for My flock, they must be shepherded on what you tread down with your feet and drink what you foul with your feet!’”
