new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H1697 And the word H3068 of the LORD H559 [H8800] came to me, saying,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11 H559 [H8804] For thus saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD; H1875 [H8804] Behold, I, even I, will both search H6629 for my sheep, H1239 [H8765] and seek them out.

12 H7462 [H8802] As a shepherd H1243 seeketh out H5739 his flock H3117 in the day H8432 that he is among H6629 his sheep H6567 [H8737] that are scattered; H1239 [H8762] so will I seek out H6629 my sheep, H5337 [H8689] and will deliver H4725 them out of all places H6327 [H8738] where they have been scattered H6051 in the cloudy H6205 and dark H3117 day.

13 H3318 [H8689] And I will bring them out H5971 from the people, H6908 [H8765] and gather H776 them from the lands, H935 [H8689] and will bring H127 them to their own soil, H7462 [H8804] and feed H2022 them upon the mountains H3478 of Israel H650 by the rivers, H4186 and in all the inhabited places H776 of the land.

14 H7462 [H8799] I will feed H2896 them in a good H4829 pasture, H4791 and upon the high H2022 mountains H3478 of Israel H5116 shall their fold H7257 [H8799] be: there shall they lie H2896 in a good H5116 fold, H8082 and in a rich H4829 pasture H7462 [H8799] shall they feed H2022 upon the mountains H3478 of Israel.

15 H7462 [H8799] I will feed H6629 my flock, H7257 [H8686] and I will cause them to lie down, H5002 [H8803] saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD.

16 H1245 [H8762] I will seek H6 [H8802] that which was lost, H7725 [H8686] and bring again H5080 [H8737] that which was driven away, H2280 [H8799] and will bind up H7665 [H8737] that which was broken, H2388 [H8762] and will strengthen H2470 [H8802] that which was sick: H8045 [H8686] but I will desolate H8082 the fat H2389 and the strong; H7462 [H8799] I will feed H4941 them with judgment.

17 H859 And as for you, H6629 O my flock, H559 [H8804] thus saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD; H8199 [H8802] Behold, I judge H7716 between cattle H7716 and cattle, H352 between the rams H6260 and the male goats.

18 H4592 Seemeth it a small thing H7462 [H8799] to you to have eaten up H2896 the good H4829 pasture, H7429 [H8799] but ye must tread down H7272 with your feet H3499 the rest H4829 of your pastures? H8354 [H8799] and to have drunk H4950 of the deep H4325 waters, H7515 [H8799] but ye must foul H3498 [H8737] the rest H7272 with your feet?

19 H6629 And as for my flock, H7462 [H8799] they eat H4823 that which ye have trodden H7272 with your feet; H8354 [H8799] and they drink H4833 that which ye have fouled H7272 with your feet.

20 H559 [H8804] Therefore thus saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD H8199 [H8804] to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge H1274 between the fat H7716 cattle H7330 and between the lean H7716 cattle.

21 H1920 [H8799] Because ye have thrust H6654 with side H3802 and with shoulder, H5055 [H8762] and pushed H2470 [H8737] all the diseased H7161 with your horns, H6327 [H8689] till ye have scattered H2351 them abroad;

22 H3467 [H8689] Therefore will I liberate H6629 my flock, H957 and they shall no more be a prey; H8199 [H8804] and I will judge H7716 between cattle H7716 and cattle.

23 H6965 [H8689] And I will set up H259 one H7462 [H8802] shepherd H7462 [H8804] over them, and he shall feed H5650 them, even my servant H1732 David; H7462 [H8799] he shall feed H7462 [H8802] them, and he shall be their shepherd.

24 H3068 And I the LORD H430 will be their God, H5650 and my servant H1732 David H5387 a prince H8432 among H3068 them; I the LORD H1696 [H8765] have spoken it.

25 H3772 [H8804] And I will make H1285 with them a covenant H7965 of peace, H7451 and will cause the evil H2416 beasts H7673 [H8689] to cease H776 out of the land: H3427 [H8804] and they shall dwell H983 safely H4057 in the wilderness, H3462 [H8804] and sleep H3293 H3264 [H8675] in the woods.

26 H5414 [H8804] And I will make H5439 them and the places around H1389 my hill H1293 a blessing; H1653 and I will cause the shower H3381 [H8689] to come down H6256 in its time; H1653 there shall be showers H1293 of blessing.

27 H6086 And the tree H7704 of the field H5414 [H8804] shall give H6529 her fruit, H776 and the earth H5414 [H8799] shall give H2981 her increase, H983 and they shall be safe H127 in their soil, H3045 [H8804] and shall know H3068 that I am the LORD, H7665 [H8800] when I have broken H4133 the bands H5923 of their yoke, H5337 [H8689] and delivered H3027 them out of the hand H5647 [H8802] of those that subjected them to service.

28 H957 And they shall no more be a prey H1471 to the nations, H2416 neither shall the beast H776 of the land H398 [H8799] devour H3427 [H8804] them; but they shall dwell H983 safely, H2729 [H8688] and none shall make them afraid.

29 H6965 [H8689] And I will raise up H4302 for them a plant H8034 of renown, H622 [H8803] and they shall be no more consumed H7458 with hunger H776 in the land, H5375 [H8799] neither bear H3639 the disgrace H1471 of the nations any more.

30 H3045 [H8804] Thus shall they know H3068 that I the LORD H430 their God H1004 am with them, and that they, even the house H3478 of Israel, H5971 are my people, H5002 [H8803] saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD.

31 H859 And ye H6629 my flock, H6629 the flock H4830 of my pasture, H120 are men, H430 and I am your God, H5002 [H8803] saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD.
