Do not the shepherds feed the sheep? ³ Behold, you feed on the milk, and clothe yourselves with the wool, and slay the fat, but you feed not My sheep. ⁴ The weak one you have not strengthened, and the sick you have not cherished, and the bruised you have not bound up, and the stray one you have not turned back, and the lost you have not sought; and the strong you have wearied with labor. ⁵ And My sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds: and they became meat to all the wild beasts of the field. ⁶ And My sheep were scattered on every mountain, and on every high hill; yea, they were scattered on the face of the earth, and there was none to seek them out, nor to bring them back. ⁷ Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ⁸ As I live, says the Lord God, surely because My sheep became a prey, and My sheep became meat to all the wild beasts of the field, because there were no shepherds, and the shepherds sought not out My sheep, and the shepherds fed themselves, but fed not My sheep, ⁹ for this cause, O shepherds, ¹⁰ thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require My sheep at their hands, and will turn them back that they shall not feed My sheep, and the shepherds shall no longer feed them; and I will deliver My sheep out of their mouth, and they shall no longer be meat for them. ¹¹ For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will seek out My sheep, and I will visit them. ¹² As the shepherd seeks his flock, in the day when there is darkness and clouds, in the midst of the sheep that are separated, so will I seek out My sheep, and I will bring them back from every place where they were scattered in the day of clouds and darkness. ¹³ And I will bring them out from the Gentiles, and will gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land, and will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, and in the valleys, and in every inhabited place of the land. ¹⁴ I will feed them in a good pasture, on a high mountain of Israel; and their folds shall be there, and they shall lie down, and there shall they rest in perfect prosperity, and they shall feed in a fat pasture on the mountains of Israel. ¹⁵ I will feed My sheep, and I will cause them to rest; and they shall know that I am the Lord; thus says the Lord God. ¹⁶ I will seek that which is lost, and I will recover the stray one, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the fainting, and will guard the strong, and will feed them with judgment. ¹⁷ And as for you, you sheep, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will distinguish between sheep and sheep, and between rams and goats. ¹⁸ And is it not enough for you that you fed on the good pasture, that you trampled with your feet the remnant of your pasture? And that you drank the standing water, and that you disturbed the residue with your feet? ¹⁹ So My sheep fed on that which you had trampled on with your feet; and they drank the water that had been disturbed by your feet. ²⁰ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will separate between the strong sheep and the weak sheep. ²¹ You thrusted with your sides and shoulders, and pushed with your horns, and you cruelly treated all the sick. ²² Therefore I will save My sheep, and they shall no longer be for a prey; and I will judge between ram and ram. ²³ And I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall tend them, even My servant David, and he shall be their shepherd; ²⁴ and I the Lord will be to them a God, and David a prince in the midst of them; I the Lord have spoken it. ²⁵ And I will make with David a covenant of peace, and I will utterly destroy evil beasts from off the land; and they shall dwell in the wilderness, and sleep in the forests. ²⁶ And I will settle them round about My mountain; and I will give you the rain, the rain of blessing. ²⁷ And the trees that are in the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength, and they shall dwell in the confidence of peace on their land, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken their yoke; and I will deliver them out of the hand of those that enslaved them. ²⁸ And they shall no more be a spoil to the nations, and the wild beasts of the land shall no more at all devour them; and they shall dwell safely, and there shall be none to make them afraid. ²⁹ And I will raise up for them a plant of peace, and they shall no more perish with hunger upon the land, and they shall no more bear the reproach off the nations. ³⁰ And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and they My people.

If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. ¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. ¹² But a hired hand, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. ¹³ But the hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and is not concerned about the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and I am known by My own. ¹⁵ Just as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; those also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
