26_EZE_34_01 And the word of the LORD came unto me , saying ,
26_EZE_34_02 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 ?
26_EZE_34_03 ye eat the fat , And ye clothe you with the wool , ye kill them that are fed : [ but ] ye feed not the flock .
26_EZE_34_04 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 .
26_EZE_34_05 And they were scattered , because [ there Is ] no Shepherd : And they became meat to all the beasts of the field , when they were scattered .
26_EZE_34_06 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 ] .
26_EZE_34_07 therefore , ye shepherds , hear the word of the LORD ;
26_EZE_34_08 [ 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 ;
26_EZE_34_09 therefore , O ye shepherds , hear the word of the LORD ;
26_EZE_34_10 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 .
26_EZE_34_11 for thus saith the LORD God ; behold , I , [ even ] I , will Both search my sheep , And seek them out .
26_EZE_34_12 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 .
26_EZE_34_13 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 .
26_EZE_34_14 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 .
26_EZE_34_15 I will feed my flock , And I will cause them to Lie down , saith the LORD God .
26_EZE_34_16 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 .
26_EZE_34_17 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 .
26_EZE_34_18 [ 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 ?
26_EZE_34_19 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 .
26_EZE_34_20 therefore thus saith the LORD God unto them ; behold , I , [ even ] I , will judge between the fat cattle And between the lean cattle .
26_EZE_34_21 because ye have thrust with side And with shoulder , And pushed all the diseased with your horns , till ye have scattered them abroad ;
26_EZE_34_22 therefore will I save my flock , And they shall no more be A prey ; And I will judge between cattle And cattle .
26_EZE_34_23 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 .
26_EZE_34_24 And I the LORD will be their God , And my servant David A prince among them ; I the LORD have spoken [ it ] .
26_EZE_34_25 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 .
26_EZE_34_26 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 .
26_EZE_34_27 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 .
26_EZE_34_28 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 .
26_EZE_34_29 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 .
26_EZE_34_30 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 .
26_EZE_34_31 And ye my flock , the flock of my pasture , [ are ] men , [ And ] I [ am ] your God , saith the LORD God .
