About Ezekiel Ezekiel, a prophet among the exiles, speaks of judgment, God's glory, and the renewal of his people.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,SelectedEzekiel 34:1Ask

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?SelectedEzekiel 34:2Ask

Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.SelectedEzekiel 34:3Ask

The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.SelectedEzekiel 34:4Ask

And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.SelectedEzekiel 34:5Ask

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.SelectedEzekiel 34:6Ask

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;SelectedEzekiel 34:7Ask

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;SelectedEzekiel 34:8Ask

Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;SelectedEzekiel 34:9Ask

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.SelectedEzekiel 34:10Ask

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.SelectedEzekiel 34:11Ask

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.SelectedEzekiel 34:12Ask

And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.SelectedEzekiel 34:13Ask

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.SelectedEzekiel 34:14Ask

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.SelectedEzekiel 34:15Ask

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.SelectedEzekiel 34:16Ask

And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.SelectedEzekiel 34:17Ask

Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?SelectedEzekiel 34:18Ask

And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.SelectedEzekiel 34:19Ask

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.SelectedEzekiel 34:20Ask

Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;SelectedEzekiel 34:21Ask

Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.SelectedEzekiel 34:22Ask

And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.SelectedEzekiel 34:23Ask

And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.SelectedEzekiel 34:24Ask

And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.SelectedEzekiel 34:25Ask

And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.SelectedEzekiel 34:26Ask

And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.SelectedEzekiel 34:27Ask

And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.SelectedEzekiel 34:28Ask

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.SelectedEzekiel 34:29Ask

Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.SelectedEzekiel 34:30Ask

And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.SelectedEzekiel 34:31Ask
