2 H1121 Son H120 of man H5012 , prophesy [H8734] H7462 against the shepherds [H8802] H3478 of Israel H5012 , prophesy [H8734] H559 , and say [H8804] H559 unto them, Thus saith [H8804] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H7462 unto the shepherds [H8802] H1945 ; Woe H7462 be to the shepherds [H8802] H3478 of Israel H7462 that do feed [H8802] H7462 themselves! should not the shepherds [H8802] H7462 feed [H8799] H6629 the flocks?

3 H398 Ye eat [H8799] H2459 the fat H3847 , and ye clothe [H8799] H6785 you with the wool H2076 , ye kill [H8799] H1277 them that are fed H7462 : but ye feed [H8799] H6629 not the flock.

4 H2470 The diseased [H8737] H2388 have ye not strengthened [H8765] H7495 , neither have ye healed [H8765] H2470 that which was sick [H8802] H2280 , neither have ye bound up [H8804] H7665 that which was broken [H8737] H7725 , neither have ye brought again [H8689] H5080 that which was driven away [H8737] H1245 , neither have ye sought [H8765] H6 that which was lost [H8802] H2394 ; but with force H6531 and with cruelty H7287 have ye ruled [H8804] them.

5 H6327 And they were scattered [H8799] H7462 , because there is no shepherd [H8802] H402 : and they became meat H2416 to all the beasts H7704 of the field H6327 , when they were scattered [H8799] .

6 H6629 My sheep H7686 wandered [H8799] H2022 through all the mountains H7311 , and upon every high [H8802] H1389 hill H6629 : yea, my flock H6327 was scattered [H8738] H6440 upon all the face H776 of the earth H1875 , and none did search [H8802] H1245 or seek [H8764] after them .

7 H7462 Therefore, ye shepherds [H8802] H8085 , hear [H8798] H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD;

8 H2416 As I live H5002 , saith [H8803] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H6629 , surely because my flock H957 became a prey H6629 , and my flock H402 became meat H2416 to every beast H7704 of the field H7462 , because there was no shepherd [H8802] H7462 , neither did my shepherds [H8802] H1875 search [H8804] H6629 for my flock H7462 , but the shepherds [H8802] H7462 fed [H8799] H7462 themselves, and fed [H8804] H6629 not my flock;

9 H7462 Therefore, O ye shepherds [H8802] H8085 , hear [H8798] H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD;

10 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H7462 ; Behold, I am against the shepherds [H8802] H1875 ; and I will require [H8804] H6629 my flock H3027 at their hand H7673 , and cause them to cease [H8689] H7462 from feeding [H8800] H6629 the flock H7462 ; neither shall the shepherds [H8802] H7462 feed [H8799] H5337 themselves any more; for I will deliver [H8689] H6629 my flock H6310 from their mouth H402 , that they may not be meat for them.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep? ³ Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. ⁴ The 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 rigour have ye ruled over them. ⁵ And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered. ⁶ My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and there was none that did search or seek [after them]. ⁷ Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: ⁸ As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep; ⁹ therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; ¹⁰ Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
