Ezekiel 34:6-14
New American Standard Bible
6 My flock (A)strayed through all the mountains and on every high hill; (B)My flock was scattered over all the surface of the earth, and there was (C)no one to search or seek for them.”’”
7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 “As I live,” declares the Lord God, “certainly, because My flock has become (D)plunder, and My flock has become food for all the animals of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock, 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am (E)against the shepherds, and I will demand My [a]sheep [b]from them and make them (F)stop tending sheep. So the shepherds will not [c]feed themselves anymore, but I will (G)save My sheep from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them.”’”
The Restoration of Israel
11 For the Lord God says this: “Behold, I Myself will (H)search for My sheep and look after them. 12 (I)As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered [d]sheep, so I will (J)care for My [e]sheep and will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a (K)cloudy 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 (L)feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the (M)streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will feed them in a (N)good pasture, and their grazing place will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in a good grazing place and feed in [f](O)rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
