6 My flock went astray through all the mountains, and on every high hill; and My flock was scattered over all the face of the earth, and there was not one searching or seeking them.’ 7 Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of YHWH! 8 ‘As I live—a declaration of the Lord YHWH—surely because My flock became as prey, and My flock became as food for every beast of the field, for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, and the shepherds shepherded themselves, and My flock they did not feed. 9 Therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of YHWH: 10 Thus says the Lord YHWH, ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My flock from their hands, and I will make them cease from shepherding the sheep, and the shepherds no longer will shepherd themselves; for I will snatch My flock from their mouths, and they will not be for them as food.’ 11 For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I—I Myself—will search for My flock, and I will seek them. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day of his being in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, so will I seek out My flock, and I will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered there on the day of cloud and darkness.
