34:1 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

34:2 Son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 8734 against the shepherds 7462 8802 of Israel 3478, prophesy 5012 8734, and say 559 8804 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 unto the shepherds 7462 8802; Woe 1945 [be] to the shepherds 7462 8802 of Israel 3478 that do feed 7462 8802 themselves! should not the shepherds 7462 8802 feed 7462 8799 the flocks 6629?

34:3 Ye eat 398 8799 the fat 2459, and ye clothe 3847 8799 you with the wool 6785, ye kill 2076 8799 them that are fed 1277: [but] ye feed 7462 8799 not the flock 6629.

34:4 The diseased 2470 8737 have ye not strengthened 2388 8765, neither have ye healed 7495 8765 that which was sick 2470 8802, neither have ye bound up 2280 8804 [that which was] broken 7665 8737, neither have ye brought again 7725 8689 that which was driven away 5080 8737, neither have ye sought 1245 8765 that which was lost 6 8802; but with force 2394 and with cruelty 6531 have ye ruled 7287 8804 them.

34:5 And they were scattered 6327 8799, because [there is] no shepherd 7462 8802: and they became meat 402 to all the beasts 2416 of the field 7704, when they were scattered 6327 8799.(because…: or, without a shepherd)

34:6 My sheep 6629 wandered 7686 8799 through all the mountains 2022, and upon every high 7311 8802 hill 1389: yea, my flock 6629 was scattered 6327 8738 upon all the face 6440 of the earth 776, and none did search 1875 8802 or seek 1245 8764 [after them].

34:7 Therefore, ye shepherds 7462 8802, hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068;

34:8 [As] I live 2416, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, surely because my flock 6629 became a prey 957, and my flock 6629 became meat 402 to every beast 2416 of the field 7704, because [there was] no shepherd 7462 8802, neither did my shepherds 7462 8802 search 1875 8804 for my flock 6629, but the shepherds 7462 8802 fed 7462 8799 themselves, and fed 7462 8804 not my flock 6629;

34:9 Therefore, O ye shepherds 7462 8802, hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068;

34:10 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Behold, I [am] against the shepherds 7462 8802; and I will require 1875 8804 my flock 6629 at their hand 3027, and cause them to cease 7673 8689 from feeding 7462 8800 the flock 6629; neither shall the shepherds 7462 8802 feed 7462 8799 themselves any more; for I will deliver 5337 8689 my flock 6629 from their mouth 6310, that they may not be meat 402 for them.

34:11 For thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Behold, I, [even] I, will both search 1875 8804 my sheep 6629, and seek them out 1239 8765.

34:12 As a shepherd 7462 8802 seeketh out 1243 his flock 5739 in the day 3117 that he is among 8432 his sheep 6629 [that are] scattered 6567 8737; so will I seek out 1239 8762 my sheep 6629, and will deliver 5337 8689 them out of all places 4725 where they have been scattered 6327 8738 in the cloudy 6051 and dark 6205 day 3117.(As…: Heb. According to the seeking)

34:13 And I will bring them out 3318 8689 from the people 5971, and gather 6908 8765 them from the countries 776, and will bring 935 8689 them to their own land 127, and feed 7462 8804 them upon the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478 by the rivers 650, and in all the inhabited places 4186 of the country 776.

34:14 I will feed 7462 8799 them in a good 2896 pasture 4829, and upon the high 4791 mountains 2022 of Israel 3478 shall their fold 5116 be: there shall they lie 7257 8799 in a good 2896 fold 5116, and [in] a fat 8082 pasture 4829 shall they feed 7462 8799 upon the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478.

34:15 I will feed 7462 8799 my flock 6629, and I will cause them to lie down 7257 8686, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.

34:16 I will seek 1245 8762 that which was lost 6 8802, and bring again 7725 8686 that which was driven away 5080 8737, and will bind up 2280 8799 [that which was] broken 7665 8737, and will strengthen 2388 8762 that which was sick 2470 8802: but I will destroy 8045 8686 the fat 8082 and the strong 2389; I will feed 7462 8799 them with judgment 4941.

34:17 And [as for] you 859, O my flock 6629, thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Behold, I judge 8199 8802 between cattle 7716 and cattle 7716, between the rams 352 and the he goats 6260.(cattle: Heb. small cattle of lambs and kids)(he goats: Heb. great he goats)

34:18 [Seemeth it] a small thing 4592 unto you to have eaten up 7462 8799 the good 2896 pasture 4829, but ye must tread down 7429 8799 with your feet 7272 the residue 3499 of your pastures 4829? and to have drunk 8354 8799 of the deep 4950 waters 4325, but ye must foul 7515 8799 the residue 3498 8737 with your feet 7272?

34:19 And [as for] my flock 6629, they eat 7462 8799 that which ye have trodden 4823 with your feet 7272; and they drink 8354 8799 that which ye have fouled 4833 with your feet 7272.

34:20 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 unto them; Behold, I, [even] I, will judge 8199 8804 between the fat 1274 cattle 7716 and between the lean 7330 cattle 7716.

34:21 Because ye have thrust 1920 8799 with side 6654 and with shoulder 3802, and pushed 5055 8762 all the diseased 2470 8737 with your horns 7161, till ye have scattered 6327 8689 them abroad 2351;

34:22 Therefore will I save 3467 8689 my flock 6629, and they shall no more be a prey 957; and I will judge 8199 8804 between cattle 7716 and cattle 7716.

34:23 And I will set up 6965 8689 one 259 shepherd 7462 8802 over them, and he shall feed 7462 8804 them, [even] my servant 5650 David 1732; he shall feed 7462 8799 them, and he shall be their shepherd 7462 8802.

34:24 And I the LORD 3068 will be their God 430, and my servant 5650 David 1732 a prince 5387 among 8432 them; I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696 8765 [it].

34:25 And I will make 3772 8804 with them a covenant 1285 of peace 7965, and will cause the evil 7451 beasts 2416 to cease 7673 8689 out of the land 776: and they shall dwell 3427 8804 safely 983 in the wilderness 4057, and sleep 3462 8804 in the woods 3293 8675 3264.

34:26 And I will make 5414 8804 them and the places round about 5439 my hill 1389 a blessing 1293; and I will cause the shower 1653 to come down 3381 8689 in his season 6256; there shall be showers 1653 of blessing 1293.

34:27 And the tree 6086 of the field 7704 shall yield 5414 8804 her fruit 6529, and the earth 776 shall yield 5414 8799 her increase 2981, and they shall be safe 983 in their land 127, and shall know 3045 8804 that I [am] the LORD 3068, when I have broken 7665 8800 the bands 4133 of their yoke 5923, and delivered 5337 8689 them out of the hand 3027 of those that served 5647 8802 themselves of them.

34:28 And they shall no more be a prey 957 to the heathen 1471, neither shall the beast 2416 of the land 776 devour 398 8799 them; but they shall dwell 3427 8804 safely 983, and none shall make [them] afraid 2729 8688.

34:29 And I will raise up 6965 8689 for them a plant 4302 of renown 8034, and they shall be no more consumed 622 8803 with hunger 7458 in the land 776, neither bear 5375 8799 the shame 3639 of the heathen 1471 any more.(of renown: or, for renown)(consumed: Heb. taken away)

34:30 Thus shall they know 3045 8804 that I the LORD 3068 their God 430 [am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the house 1004 of Israel 3478, [are] my people 5971, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.

34:31 And ye 859 my flock 6629, the flock 6629 of my pasture 4830, [are] men 120, [and] I [am] your God 430, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.
