Ezekiel 34

King James Version

34 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

²Son 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?

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.

⁵And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

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.

⁷Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord;

⁸As 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;

⁹Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord;

¹⁰Thus 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.

¹¹For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

¹²As 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.

¹³And 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.

¹⁴I 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.

¹⁵I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.

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, O my flock, thus saith the Lord God; 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 God unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

²¹Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

²²Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

²³And 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.

²⁴And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.

²⁵And 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.

²⁶And 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.

²⁷And 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.

²⁸And 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.

²⁹And 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.

³⁰Thus 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.

³¹And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.

Các nhà lãnh đạo là người chăn chiên

34 CHÚA phán cùng tôi rằng: ²“Hỡi con người, hãy nói tiên tri nghịch cùng những kẻ chăn chiên là các nhà lãnh đạo dân Ít-ra-en. Hãy nói tiên tri và bảo chúng rằng: Khốn cho các kẻ chăn chiên trong Ít-ra-en chỉ lo nuôi mình! Tại sao kẻ chăn chiên không lo nuôi bầy chiên? ³Các ngươi ăn bơ sữa, mặc áo len ấm áp. Các ngươi giết những con chiên mập nhất nhưng không cho bầy chiên ăn. ⁴Các ngươi không nuôi dưỡng cho các con chiên yếu được mạnh. Các ngươi không chữa lành các con chiên đau hay băng bó các con bị thương. Các ngươi không mang về những con đi lạc hay tìm kiếm những con bị mất. Nhưng các ngươi dùng vũ lực cai trị bầy chiên mình. ⁵Các con chiên bị tản lạc vì không có người chăn, chúng làm mồi cho thú dữ. ⁶Bầy chiên ta tản lạc khắp các núi và trên mỗi đồi cao. Chúng bị tản lạc khắp đất, không ai tìm hay kiếm chúng nó.

⁷Cho nên hỡi các ngươi là người chăn, hãy nghe lời CHÚA phán. Ngài phán như sau: ⁸Thật như ta hằng sống, bầy chiên ta đã bị thú dữ bắt và ăn thịt vì không có người chăn. Người chăn không tìm kiếm bầy mình. Trái lại chúng chỉ nuôi mình cho mập thây mà không nuôi dưỡng bầy chiên ta. ⁹Cho nên, hỡi các ngươi là người chăn, hãy nghe lời CHÚA phán. ¹⁰CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán như sau: Ta nghịch lại các kẻ chăn. Ta bắt chúng chịu trách nhiệm về số phận của các con chiên ta. Ta sẽ không cho chúng chăn bầy nữa. Các kẻ chăn sẽ không còn nuôi mập mình nữa. Ta sẽ rứt bầy chiên ra khỏi miệng chúng để không còn làm thức ăn cho chúng nữa.

¹¹CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán như sau: Chính ta sẽ tìm kiếm chiên ta và chăm sóc chúng nó. ¹²Như người chăn lo cho bầy chiên tản lạc của mình ra sao khi tìm được chúng thì ta cũng sẽ chăm sóc bầy chiên ta như vậy. Ta sẽ cứu chúng ra khỏi những nơi mà chúng bị tản lạc trong ngày u tối ảm đạm. ¹³Ta sẽ mang chúng về từ các dân và gom chúng lại từ mọi nước. Ta sẽ mang chúng về lại trong xứ mình và sẽ cho chúng ăn trong đồng cỏ trên các núi của Ít-ra-en, trong các hố, và trong những nơi có người ở trong xứ. ¹⁴Ta sẽ cho chúng ăn trong các đồng cỏ xanh tốt, chúng sẽ ăn cỏ trên các núi Ít-ra-en. Chúng sẽ nằm xuống nơi chúng ăn cỏ, chúng sẽ ăn nơi đồng cỏ tốt trong các núi non của Ít-ra-en. ¹⁵Ta sẽ nuôi dưỡng bầy chiên ta, đưa chúng đến chỗ an nghỉ, CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán vậy. ¹⁶Ta sẽ tìm chiên bị mất, mang về những con đi lạc, băng bó những con bị thương, và làm cho những con yếu được mạnh lại, nhưng ta sẽ tiêu diệt những con mập mạnh. Ta sẽ chăn chiên ta trong sự công bình.

¹⁷CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán như sau: Còn về phần các ngươi, hỡi bầy chiên ta, ta sẽ phân xử giữa chiên nầy với chiên kia, giữa chiên đực và dê đực. ¹⁸Các ngươi ăn cỏ trên đất tốt chưa đủ sao? Sao các ngươi còn dẫm đạp lên cỏ? Các ngươi uống nước trong chưa đủ sao? Sao các ngươi còn lấy chân khuấy bùn lên? ¹⁹Bầy chiên ta phải ăn thứ các ngươi đạp lên hay uống nước bùn mà các ngươi quậy lên sao?

²⁰Nên Chúa là Thượng Đế phán như sau về chúng nó: Chính ta sẽ phân xử giữa các chiên mập và chiên ốm. ²¹Các ngươi dùng vai, hông và sừng húc đẩy những con chiên ốm té nhào cho đến khi các ngươi trục xuất chúng nó đi. ²²Cho nên ta sẽ cứu bầy chiên ta; chúng sẽ không còn bị tổn hại nữa. Ta sẽ xử đoán giữa chiên nầy với chiên kia. ²³Rồi ta sẽ đặt một kẻ chăn chiên lo cho chúng, tức Đa-vít, tôi tớ ta. Người sẽ nuôi dưỡng chúng và làm người chăn chúng. ²⁴Rồi ta, CHÚA, sẽ làm Thượng Đế chúng, và Đa-vít tôi tớ ta sẽ cai trị chúng. Ta, CHÚA, đã phán.

²⁵Ta sẽ lập giao ước hoà bình với các con chiên ta, ta sẽ dẹp những con thú có hại ra khỏi xứ. Rồi chiên sẽ sống bình yên trong sa mạc và ngủ trong rừng. ²⁶Ta sẽ ban phước cho chúng và để chúng sống quanh đồi ta. Ta sẽ cho mưa xuống đúng mùa; sẽ có mưa rào xuống phước cho chúng. ²⁷Rồi các cây cối trong vùng quê sẽ sinh trái, đất sinh sản hoa màu. Các con chiên sẽ sống bình yên trong xứ. Rồi chúng sẽ biết ta là CHÚA khi ta bẻ ách tù đày của chúng, cứu chúng khỏi quyền lực của những kẻ đã bắt chúng làm tôi mọi. ²⁸Chúng sẽ không làm mồi cho các dân. Thú dữ sẽ không cắn xé chúng nhưng chúng sẽ sống bình yên, không còn ai làm chúng sợ hãi nữa. ²⁹Ta sẽ ban cho chúng một nơi nổi tiếng sinh hoa màu tốt, chúng sẽ không còn bị đói kém trong xứ nữa. Chúng cũng sẽ không còn bị các dân tộc khác sỉ nhục nữa. ³⁰Rồi chúng sẽ biết rằng ta, CHÚA, là Thượng Đế chúng ở với chúng. Dân Ít-ra-en sẽ biết rằng chúng là dân ta, CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán vậy. ³¹Các ngươi là chiên mà ta chăm sóc, ta là Thượng Đế các ngươi, CHÚA là Thượng Đế phán vậy.”

Irresponsible Shepherds

34 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: ^(A)“Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? ³^(B)You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you ^(C)slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. ⁴^(D)The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor ^(E)sought what was lost; but with ^(F)force and ^[a]cruelty you have ruled them. ⁵^(G)So they were ^(H)scattered because there was no shepherd; ^(I)and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. ⁶My sheep ^(J)wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them.”

⁷‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ⁸“As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock ^(K)became food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, ^(L)but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock”— ⁹therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of the Lord! ¹⁰Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am ^(M)against the shepherds, and ^(N)I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall ^(O)feed themselves no more; for I will ^(P)deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them.”

God, the True Shepherd

¹¹‘For thus says the Lord God: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. ¹²As a ^(Q)shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on ^(R)a cloudy and dark day. ¹³And ^(S)I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, ^[b]in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. ¹⁴^(T)I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. ^(U)There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. ¹⁵I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. ¹⁶^(V)“I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy ^(W)the fat and the strong, and feed them ^(X)in judgment.”

¹⁷‘And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: ^(Y)“Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats. ¹⁸Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the ^[c]residue of your pasture—and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet? ¹⁹And as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.”

²⁰‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: ^(Z)“Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep. ²¹Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad, ²²therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. ²³I will establish one ^(AA)shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—^(AB)My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. ²⁴And ^(AC)I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David ^(AD)a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.

²⁵^(AE)“I will make a covenant of peace with them, and ^(AF)cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they ^(AG)will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. ²⁶I will make them and the places all around ^(AH)My hill ^(AI)a blessing; and I will ^(AJ)cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be ^(AK)showers of blessing. ²⁷Then ^(AL)the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have ^(AM)broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who ^(AN)enslaved them. ²⁸And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but ^(AO)they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid. ²⁹I will raise up for them a ^(AP)garden^[d] of renown, and they shall ^(AQ)no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, ^(AR)nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore. ³⁰Thus they shall know that ^(AS)I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are ^(AT)My people,” says the Lord God.’

³¹“You are My ^(AU)flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord God.

The Lord Will Be Israel’s Shepherd

34 The word of the Lord came to me: ²“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock?^(A) ³You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock.^(B) ⁴You have not strengthened the weak or healed^(C) the sick or bound up^(D) the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally.^(E) ⁵So they were scattered because there was no shepherd,^(F) and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals.^(G) ⁶My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill.^(H) They were scattered^(I) over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.^(J)

⁷“‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ⁸As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered^(K) and has become food for all the wild animals,^(L) and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock,^(M) ⁹therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ¹⁰This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against^(N) the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue^(O) my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.^(P)

¹¹“‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep^(Q) and look after them. ¹²As a shepherd^(R) looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.^(S) ¹³I will bring them out from the nations and gather^(T) them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land.^(U) I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.^(V) ¹⁴I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel^(W) will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture^(X) on the mountains of Israel.^(Y) ¹⁵I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down,^(Z) declares the Sovereign Lord.^(AA) ¹⁶I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up^(AB) the injured and strengthen the weak,^(AC) but the sleek and the strong I will destroy.^(AD) I will shepherd the flock with justice.^(AE)

¹⁷“‘As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats.^(AF) ¹⁸Is it not enough^(AG) for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet?^(AH) Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? ¹⁹Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?

²⁰“‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.^(AI) ²¹Because you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak sheep with your horns^(AJ) until you have driven them away, ²²I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another.^(AK) ²³I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend^(AL) them; he will tend them and be their shepherd.^(AM) ²⁴I the Lord will be their God,^(AN) and my servant David^(AO) will be prince among them.^(AP) I the Lord have spoken.^(AQ)

²⁵“‘I will make a covenant^(AR) of peace^(AS) with them and rid the land of savage beasts^(AT) so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety.^(AU) ²⁶I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing.^[a]^(AV) I will send down showers in season;^(AW) there will be showers of blessing.^(AX) ²⁷The trees will yield their fruit^(AY) and the ground will yield its crops;^(AZ) the people will be secure^(BA) in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke^(BB) and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them.^(BC) ²⁸They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety,^(BD) and no one will make them afraid.^(BE) ²⁹I will provide for them a land renowned^(BF) for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine^(BG) in the land or bear the scorn^(BH) of the nations.^(BI) ³⁰Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(BJ) ³¹You are my sheep,^(BK) the sheep of my pasture,^(BL) and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

Prophecy Against the Shepherds of Israel

34 The word of the Lord came to me: ²^(A)“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: ^(B)Ah, shepherds of Israel ^(C)who have been feeding yourselves! ^(D)Should not shepherds feed the sheep? ³^(E)You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, ^(F)you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. ⁴^(G)The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, ^(H)the injured you have not bound up, ^(I)the strayed you have not brought back, ^(J)the lost you have not sought, and with force and ^(K)harshness you have ruled them. ⁵^(L)So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and ^(M)they became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered; ⁶they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, ^(N)with none to search or seek for them.

⁷“Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ⁸^(O)As I live, declares the Lord God, surely because ^(P)my sheep have become a prey, and my sheep have become food for all the wild beasts, since there was no shepherd, and because my shepherds have not searched for my sheep, but the shepherds have fed themselves, and have not fed my sheep, ⁹therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ¹⁰Thus says the Lord God, ^(Q)Behold, I am against the shepherds, and ^(R)I will require my sheep at their hand and ^(S)put a stop to their feeding the sheep. ^(T)No longer shall the shepherds feed themselves. ^(U)I will rescue my sheep from their mouths, that they may not be food for them.

The Lord God Will Seek Them Out

¹¹“For thus says the Lord God: ^(V)Behold, I, I ^(W)myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. ¹²As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on ^(X)a day of clouds and ^(Y)thick darkness. ¹³And I will bring them out from the peoples ^(Z)and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on ^(AA)the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. ¹⁴^(AB)I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. ^(AC)There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. ¹⁵^(AD)I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, ^(AE)and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God. ¹⁶^(AF)I will seek the lost, ^(AG)and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and ^(AH)the fat and the strong I will destroy.^[a] I will feed them in justice.

¹⁷“As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord God: ^(AI)Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and ^(AJ)male goats. ¹⁸Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of ^(AK)clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet? ¹⁹And must my sheep eat what you have trodden with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet?

²⁰“Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. ²¹Because you push with side and shoulder, and ^(AL)thrust at all the ^(AM)weak with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad, ²²I will rescue^[b] my flock; ^(AN)they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep. ²³And ^(AO)I will set up over them one shepherd, ^(AP)my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. ²⁴And ^(AQ)I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. ^(AR)I am the Lord; I have spoken.

The Lord's Covenant of Peace

²⁵^(AS)“I will make with them a covenant of peace and ^(AT)banish wild beasts from the land, ^(AU)so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. ²⁶And I will make them and the places all around my hill ^(AV)a blessing, and ^(AW)I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be ^(AX)showers of blessing. ²⁷^(AY)And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, ^(AZ)and they shall be secure in their land. And ^(BA)they shall know that I am the Lord, when ^(BB)I break the bars of their yoke, and ^(BC)deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. ²⁸^(BD)They shall no more be a prey to the nations, ^(BE)nor shall the beasts of the land devour them. ^(BF)They shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. ²⁹And I will provide for them ^(BG)a renowned place for planting so that ^(BH)they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, and no longer ^(BI)suffer the reproach of the nations. ³⁰And they shall know that ^(BJ)I am the Lord their God with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord God. ³¹And you are my sheep, ^(BK)human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
