Ezekiel 34:1-31
1
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: O shepherds of Israel, do shepherds feed themselves? Do not the shepherds feed the sheep?
3
Behold, you feed on the milk, and clothe yourselves with the wool, and slay the fat, but you feed not My sheep.
4
The weak one you have not strengthened, and the sick you have not cherished, and the bruised you have not bound up, and the stray one you have not turned back, and the lost you have not sought; and the strong you have wearied with labor.
5
And My sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds: and they became meat to all the wild beasts of the field.
6
And My sheep were scattered on every mountain, and on every high hill; yea, they were scattered on the face of the earth, and there was none to seek them out, nor to bring them back.
7
Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
8
[As] I live, says the Lord God, surely because My sheep became a prey, and My sheep became meat to all the wild beasts of the field, because there were no shepherds, and the shepherds sought not out My sheep, and the shepherds fed themselves, but fed not My sheep,
9
for this cause, O shepherds,
10
thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require My sheep at their hands, and will turn them back that they shall not feed My sheep, and the shepherds shall no longer feed them; and I will deliver My sheep out of their mouth, and they shall no longer be meat for them.
11
For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will seek out My sheep, and I will visit them.
12
As the shepherd seeks his flock, in the day when there is darkness and clouds, in the midst of the sheep that are separated, so will I seek out My sheep, and I will bring them back from every place where they were scattered in the day of clouds and darkness.
13
And I will bring them out from the Gentiles, and will gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land, and will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, and in the valleys, and in every inhabited place of the land.
14
I will feed them in a good pasture, on a high mountain of Israel; and their folds shall be there, and they shall lie down, and there shall they rest in perfect prosperity, and they shall feed in a fat pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15
I will feed My sheep, and I will cause them to rest; and they shall know that I am the Lord; thus says the Lord God.
16
I will seek that which is lost, and I will recover the stray one, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the fainting, and will guard the strong, and will feed them with judgment.
17
And [as for] you, you sheep, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will distinguish between sheep and sheep, [and between] rams and goats.
18
And [is it] not enough for you that you fed on the good pasture, that you trampled with your feet the remnant of your pasture? And [that] you drank the standing water, [and that] you disturbed the residue with your feet?
19
So My sheep fed on that which you had trampled on with your feet; and they drank the water that had been disturbed by your feet.
20
Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will separate between the strong sheep and the weak sheep.
21
You thrusted with your sides and shoulders, and pushed with your horns, and you cruelly treated all the sick.
22
Therefore I will save My sheep, and they shall no longer be for a prey; and I will judge between ram and ram.
23
And I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall tend them, [even] My servant David, and he shall be their shepherd;
24
and I the Lord will be to them a God, and David a prince in the midst of them; I the Lord have spoken it.
25
And I will make with David a covenant of peace, and I will utterly destroy evil beasts from off the land; and they shall dwell in the wilderness, and sleep in the forests.
26
And I will settle them round about My mountain; and I will give you the rain, the rain of blessing.
27
And the trees that are in the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength, and they shall dwell in the confidence of peace on their land, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken their yoke; and I will deliver them out of the hand of those that enslaved them.
28
And they shall no more be a spoil to the nations, and the wild beasts of the land shall no more at all devour them; and they shall dwell safely, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
29
And I will raise up for them a plant of peace, and they shall no more perish with hunger upon the land, and they shall no more bear the reproach off the nations.
30
And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and they My people. O house of Israel, says the Lord God,
31
you are My sheep, even the sheep of My flock, and I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.
Ezekiel 36:1-39
1
And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear the word of the Lord:
2
Thus says the Lord God: Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places have become a possession for us;
3
therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God: Because you have been dishonored, and hated by those round about you, that you might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword, and a reproach to the nations.
4
Therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord: Thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to [the places] that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about;
5
therefore, thus says the Lord: Verily in the fire of My wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, because they have appropriated My land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives [of its inhabitants], to destroy [it] by plunder.
6
Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen;
7
therefore I will lift up My hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.
8
But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall My people eat; for they are hoping to come.
9
For behold, I am for you, and I will have respect to you, and you shall be tilled and sown;
10
and I will multiply men upon you, [even] all the house of Israel to the last; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon.
11
And I will multiply men and cattle upon you, and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and I will treat you well, as in your former [times]; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
12
And I will increase men upon you, [even] My people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be to them for a possession; and you shall no more be bereaved of them.
13
Thus says the Lord God: Because they said to you, You devour men, and have been bereaved of your nation;
14
therefore you shall no more devour men, and you shall no more bereave your nation, says the Lord God.
15
And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says the Lord God.
16
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17
Son of man, the house of Israel dwelt upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before Me like the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18
So I poured out My wrath upon them,
19
and I dispersed them among the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their sin.
20
And they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned My holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of His land.
21
but I spared them for the sake of My holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went.
22
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord: I do not do this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom you went.
23
And I will sanctify My great name, which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes.
24
And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land;
25
and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.
26
And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
27
And I will put My Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in My ordinances, and to keep My judgments, and do [them].
28
And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to Me a people, and I will be to you a God.
29
And I will save you from all your uncleannesses; and I will call for the grain, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you.
30
And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear the reproach of famine among the nations.
31
And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations.
32
Not for your sakes do I do [this], says the Lord God, [as] it is known to you; be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33
Thus says the Lord God: In the day in which I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon;
34
and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of everyone that passed by.
35
And they shall say, That desolate land has become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited.
36
And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined [cities] and planted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
37
Thus says the Lord God: Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them, [even] men as sheep;
38
as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men. And they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
Amos 9:14
And I will turn the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and shall inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and shall drink the wine from them; and they shall form gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood His counsel: for He has gathered them as sheaves of the floor.

And [their enemies] shall be ashamed at that time, when I shall deal well with you, and at the time when I shall receive you: for I will make you honored and a praise among all the nations of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before you, says the Lord.
