    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.
