1
And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
me,
saying,
2
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?
3
Ye
eat
the
fat,
and
ye
clothe
you
with
the
wool,
ye
kill
them
that
are
fed:
[but]
ye
feed
not
the
flock.
4
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.
5
And
they
were
scattered,
because
[there
is]
no
shepherd:
and
they
became
meat
to
all
the
beasts
of
the
field,
when
they
were
scattered.
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
none
did
search
or
seek
[after
them].
7
Therefore,
ye
shepherds,
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD;
8
[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;
9
Therefore,
O
ye
shepherds,
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD;
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.
11
For
thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD;
Behold,
I,
[even]
I,
will
both
search
my
sheep,
and
seek
them
out.
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.
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.
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.
15
I
will
feed
my
flock,
and
I
will
cause
them
to
lie
down,
saith
the
Lord
GOD.
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.
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.
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?
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.
20
Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD
unto
them;
Behold,
I,
[even]
I,
will
judge
between
the
fat
cattle
and
between
the
lean
cattle.
21
Because
ye
have
thrust
with
side
and
with
shoulder,
and
pushed
all
the
diseased
with
your
horns,
till
ye
have
scattered
them
abroad;
22
Therefore
will
I
save
my
flock,
and
they
shall
no
more
be
a
prey;
and
I
will
judge
between
cattle
and
cattle.
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.
24
And
I
the
LORD
will
be
their
God,
and
my
servant
David
a
prince
among
them;
I
the
LORD
have
spoken
[it].
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
31
And
ye
my
flock,
the
flock
of
my
pasture,
[are]
men,
[and]
I
[am]
your
God,
saith
the
Lord
GOD.
