Verse 20

'then I will bring you down with those who descend to the pit, to the people of old. I will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, among the ruins of antiquity, along with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be lived in again. And I will display my glory in the land of the living.'

• Ezek 34:1-9 : 1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, the shepherds: This is what the Lord GOD says, 'Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not shepherds feed the flock? 3 You eat the fat, wear the wool, and slaughter the fattened animals, but you do not feed the flock. 4 You have not strengthened the weak, healed the sick, bound up the injured, brought back the strays, or searched for the lost. Instead, you have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and they became food for all the wild animals; they were scattered. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My flock was scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them. 7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: 8 'As surely as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'because My flock has become prey and My flock has become food for every wild animal since there was no shepherd and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock, 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 My flock from their hand and stop them from shepherding My flock. The shepherds will no longer feed themselves, for I will rescue My flock from their mouths, so 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 look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered sheep when he is with them, so I will look after My flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations, gather them from the countries, and bring them to their own land. I will shepherd them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will feed them in good pasture, and their grazing land will be on the high mountains of Israel. There they will lie down in a pleasant grazing land and feed in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. 15 I Myself will tend My flock and cause them to lie down, declares the Lord GOD. 16 I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the injured, and strengthen the weak. But the fat and the strong I will destroy—I will shepherd them with justice. 17 As for you, My flock, this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the male goats. 18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pastures? Must you also trample the rest of your pastures with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink the clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19 Must My flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet? 20 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says to them: Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Because you push with your side and shoulder, and butt all the weak sheep with your horns until you have scattered them far and wide, 22 I will save My flock so they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another. 23 I will place over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and be their shepherd. 24 I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken. 25 I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of wild animals, so they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests. 26 I will make them and the areas surrounding My hill a blessing. I will send down showers in their season—showers of blessing will come. 27 The trees of the field will yield their fruit, and the land will produce its crops. They will live securely on their land and know that I am the LORD when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them. 28 They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not devour them. They will live securely, and no one will make them afraid. 29 I will provide them with a land renowned for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the disgrace of the nations. 30 Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and that they are My people—the house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD. 31 You are My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord GOD.
