Ezekiel 34:11–24

¹¹For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, ^qI, even I, will ^rrboth search my sheep, and ^lseek them out. ¹²As ^ssa shepherd ^lseeketh 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 ^ttthe cloudy and ^tudark day. ¹³And I will bring them out from the people, and ^vgather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon ^wthe mountains of Israel by ^xthe rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. ^14yI will feed them in a good pasture, and upon ^zthe high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: ^athere shall they lie in a good fold, and in a ^bfat pasture shall they feed upon ^wthe mountains of Israel. ^15cI will feed my flock, and ^aI will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. ^16dI will seek that which was lost, and ^dbring again that which was driven away, and ^dwill bind up that which was broken, and ^dwill strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy ^ethe fat and the strong; I will feed them ^fwith judgment. ¹⁷And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord God; ^gBehold, I judge between cattle and cattle, ^hbetween the rams and ⁱthe he goats. ^18jSeemeth 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 ^kdeep waters, but ye must ^lfoul the residue with your feet? ¹⁹And as for my flock, they eat ^mthat which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink ^lthat which ye have fouled with your feet.

²⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them; ^gBehold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. ²¹Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and ⁿpusht all ^othe diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; ²²therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be ^pa prey; and ^gI will judge between cattle and cattle. ²³And I will set up ^qone shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, ^reven ^smy servant David; ^qhe shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. ²⁴And ^tI the Lord will be their God, and ^rsmy servant David ^ua prince among them; ^vI the Lord have spoken it.
