Book 26 : EZEKIEL - Chapter 034
034:001
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel,
prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the
shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed
themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks
034:002
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them
that are fed: but ye feed not the flock
034:003
The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed
that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was
broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven
away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with
force and with cruelty have ye ruled them
034:004
And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and
they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they
were scattered
034:005
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 none did search or seek after them
034:006
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD
034:007
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became
a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field,
because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search
for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my
flock
034:008
Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD
034:009
Thus saith 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 the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed
themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their
mouth, that they may not be meat for them
034:010
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both
search my sheep, and seek them out
034:011
As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is
among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my
sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have
been scattered in the cloudy and dark day
034:012
And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them
from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and
feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in
all the inhabited places of the country
034:013
I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high
mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie
in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the
mountains of Israel
034:014
I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith
the Lord GOD
034:015
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which
was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and
will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the
fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment
034:016
And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he
goats
034:017
Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good
pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of
your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye
must foul the residue with your feet
034:018
And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with
your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your
feet
034:019
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even
I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean
cattle
034:020
Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed
all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them
abroad
034:021
Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a
prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle
034:022
And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed
them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall
be their shepherd
034:023
And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a
prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it
034:024
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause
the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell
safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods
034:025
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a
blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his
season; there shall be showers of blessing
034:026
And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth
shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe 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 that served themselves of them
034:027
And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall
the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell
safely, and none shall make them afraid
034:028
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall
be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the
shame of the heathen any more
034:029
Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them,
and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith
the Lord GOD
034:030
And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am
your God, saith the Lord GOD
