    5 And they were wandering in every direction because there was no keeper: and they became food for all the beasts of the field.

    6 And my sheep went out of the way, wandering through all the mountains and on every high hill: my sheep went here and there over all the face of the earth; and no one was troubled about them or went in search of them.

    7 For this cause, O keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord:

    8 By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and gave my sheep no food;

    9 For this reason, O you keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord;

    10 This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I will take my sheep out of their mouths so that they may not be food for them.

    11 For this is what the Lord has said: Truly, I, even I, will go searching and looking for my sheep.

    12 As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night.
