Ezekiel 34 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Prophecy against the Shepherds of Israel

Eze 34:1And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

Eze 34:2'Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo to the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed?

Eze 34:3

Eze 34:3The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the flock ye feed not.

Eze 34:4

Eze 34:4The weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour.

Eze 34:5

Eze 34:5And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are scattered.

Eze 34:6

Eze 34:6Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.

Eze 34:7

Eze 34:7Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

Eze 34:8

Eze 34:8I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed.

Eze 34:9

Eze 34:9Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

Eze 34:10

Eze 34:10Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food.

The Restoration of Israel

Eze 34:11

Eze 34:11For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I -- even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.

Eze 34:12

Eze 34:12As a shepherd's searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.

Eze 34:13

Eze 34:13And brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.

Eze 34:14

Eze 34:14With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on mountains of Israel.

Eze 34:15

Eze 34:15I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

Eze 34:16

Eze 34:16The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.

Eze 34:17

Eze 34:17And you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and he-goats.

Eze 34:18

Eze 34:18Is it a little thing for you -- the good pasture ye enjoy, And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your feet ye trample,

Eze 34:19

Eze 34:19And My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled thing of your feet drinketh?

Eze 34:20

Eze 34:20Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I -- even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.

Eze 34:21

Eze 34:21Because with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place,

Eze 34:22

Eze 34:22And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any more for prey, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.

Eze 34:23

Eze 34:23And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them -- my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd,

Eze 34:24

Eze 34:24And I, Jehovah, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

Eze 34:25

Eze 34:25And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests.

Eze 34:26

Eze 34:26And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are.

Eze 34:27

Eze 34:27And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I am Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.

Eze 34:28

Eze 34:28And they are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
