5 They are scattered without a shephearde, yea all the beastes of the fielde deuour them, and they go astray.
6 My sheepe go wandring vpon al mountaines, and vpon euery hie hill, yea my flocke is scattered through all the face of the earth, and there is no man that seeketh or searcheth after them.
7 Therefore O ye shepheardes, heare the worde of the Lorde.
8 As truely as I lyue saith the Lorde God, forsomuch as my sheepe are robbed, & deuoured of all the wylde beastes of the fielde, hauing no shepheard, and seeing that my shepheardes seke not my sheepe, but the shepheardes feede them selues, and feede not my sheepe:
9 Therefore heare the worde of the Lorde O ye shepheardes,
10 Thus saith the Lorde God: beholde, I wyll vpon the shepheardes, and require my sheepe from their handes, and make them ceasse from feeding of the sheepe, yea the shepheardes shall feede them selues no more: for I wyll deliuer my sheepe out of their mouthes, so that they shall not deuour them after this.
11 For thus saith the Lorde God: behold, I euen I wyll loke to my sheepe my selfe, and seeke them out.
