Ezek. 34:1‑31• 1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
 2Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say unto them. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
 3Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
 4The 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.

 6My 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.

 8As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, 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;
 9therefore, Ο ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
 10Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 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 anymore; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
 11For thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

 16I 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.
 17And as for you, Ο my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he-goats.
 18Seemeth 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?
 19And 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.
 20Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle, and between the lean cattle.
