    9therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD.

    10This 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.'

    11For this is what the Lord GOD says: 'Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and look after them.

    12As 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.
