Bible verse
therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’
Ezekiel 34:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 34.
5 They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.
6 My flock went astray on all the mountains and every high hill. They were scattered over the face of all the earth, with no one to search for them or seek them out.’
7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
8 ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,
9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’
10 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’
11 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd looks for his scattered sheep when he is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
13 I will bring them out from the peoples, gather them from the countries, and bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the settlements of the land.
