¹Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

KJVMoreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559^(H8800),

² “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

KJVSon^H1121 of man^H120, set^H7760^(H8798) thy face^H6440 against mount^H2022 Seir^H8165, and prophesy^H5012^(H8734) against it,

³ and tell it, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

KJVAnd say^H559^(H8804) unto it, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, O mount^H2022 Seir^H8165, I am against thee, and I will stretch out^H5186^(H8804) mine hand^H3027 against thee, and I will make^H5414^(H8804) thee most^H4923 desolate^H8077.

⁴ I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

KJVI will lay^H7760^(H8799) thy cities^H5892 waste^H2723, and thou shalt be desolate^H8077, and thou shalt know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068.

⁵ “‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end,

KJVBecause thou hast had a perpetual^H5769 hatred^H342, and hast shed^H5064^(H8686) the blood of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 by the force^H3027 of the sword^H2719 in the time^H6256 of their calamity^H343, in the time^H6256 that their iniquity^H5771 had an end^H7093:

⁶ therefore, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.

KJVTherefore, as I live^H2416, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, I will prepare^H6213^(H8799) thee unto blood^H1818, and blood^H1818 shall pursue^H7291^(H8799) thee: sith^H518 thou hast not hated^H8130^(H8804) blood^H1818, even blood^H1818 shall pursue^H7291^(H8799) thee.

⁷ Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

KJVThus will I make^H5414^(H8804) mount^H2022 Seir^H8165 most^H8077 desolate^H8077, and cut off^H3772^(H8689) from it him that passeth out^H5674^(H8802) and him that returneth^H7725^(H8802).

⁸ I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.

KJVAnd I will fill^H4390^(H8765) his mountains^H2022 with his slain^H2491 men: in thy hills^H1389, and in thy valleys^H1516, and in all thy rivers^H650, shall they fall^H5307^(H8799) that are slain^H2491 with the sword^H2719.

⁹ I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

KJVI will make^H5414^(H8799) thee perpetual^H5769 desolations^H8077, and thy cities^H5892 shall not return^H7725^(H8799)^(H8675)^H3427^(H8799): and ye shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068.

¹⁰ “‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although Yahweh was there,

KJVBecause thou hast said^H559^(H8800), These two^H8147 nations^H1471 and these two^H8147 countries^H776 shall be mine, and we will possess^H3423^(H8804) it; whereas the LORD^H3068 was there:

¹¹ therefore, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.

KJVTherefore, as I live^H2416, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, I will even do^H6213^(H8804) according to thine anger^H639, and according to thine envy^H7068 which thou hast used^H6213^(H8804) out of thy hatred^H8135 against them; and I will make myself known^H3045^(H8738) among them, when I have judged^H8199^(H8799) thee.

¹² You will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’

KJVAnd thou shalt know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068, and that I have heard^H8085^(H8804) all thy blasphemies^H5007 which thou hast spoken^H559^(H8804) against the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478, saying^H559^(H8800), They are laid desolate^H8074^(H8804)^(H8675)^H8077, they are given^H5414^(H8738) us to consume^H402.

¹³ You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”

KJVThus with your mouth^H6310 ye have boasted^H1431^(H8686) against me, and have multiplied^H6280^(H8689) your words^H1697 against me: I have heard^H8085^(H8804) them.

¹⁴ The Lord Yahweh says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; When the whole earth^H776 rejoiceth^H8055^(H8800), I will make^H6213^(H8799) thee desolate^H8077.

¹⁵ As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’”

KJVAs thou didst rejoice^H8057 at the inheritance^H5159 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, because it was desolate^H8074^(H8804), so will I do^H6213^(H8799) unto thee: thou shalt be desolate^H8077, O mount^H2022 Seir^H8165, and all Idumea^H123, even all of it: and they shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068.

WEB·Ezekiel 34

¹Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

KJVAnd the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559^(H8800),

² “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?

KJVSon^H1121 of man^H120, prophesy^H5012^(H8734) against the shepherds^H7462^(H8802) of Israel^H3478, prophesy^H5012^(H8734), and say^H559^(H8804) unto them, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 unto the shepherds^H7462^(H8802); Woe^H1945 be to the shepherds^H7462^(H8802) of Israel^H3478 that do feed^H7462^(H8802) themselves! should not the shepherds^H7462^(H8802) feed^H7462^(H8799) the flocks^H6629?

³ You eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep.

KJVYe eat^H398^(H8799) the fat^H2459, and ye clothe^H3847^(H8799) you with the wool^H6785, ye kill^H2076^(H8799) them that are fed^H1277: but ye feed^H7462^(H8799) not the flock^H6629.

⁴ You haven’t strengthened the diseased. You haven’t healed that which was sick. You haven’t bound up that which was broken. You haven’t brought back that which was driven away. You haven’t sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.

KJVThe diseased^H2470^(H8737) have ye not strengthened^H2388^(H8765), neither have ye healed^H7495^(H8765) that which was sick^H2470^(H8802), neither have ye bound up^H2280^(H8804) that which was broken^H7665^(H8737), neither have ye brought again^H7725^(H8689) that which was driven away^H5080^(H8737), neither have ye sought^H1245^(H8765) that which was lost^H6^(H8802); but with force^H2394 and with cruelty^H6531 have ye ruled^H7287^(H8804) them.

⁵ They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.

KJVAnd they were scattered^H6327^(H8799), because there is no shepherd^H7462^(H8802): and they became meat^H402 to all the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704, when they were scattered^H6327^(H8799).

⁶ My sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”

KJVMy sheep^H6629 wandered^H7686^(H8799) through all the mountains^H2022, and upon every high^H7311^(H8802) hill^H1389: yea, my flock^H6629 was scattered^H6327^(H8738) upon all the face^H6440 of the earth^H776, and none did search^H1875^(H8802) or seek^H1245^(H8764) after them.

⁷ “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear Yahweh’s word:

KJVTherefore, ye shepherds^H7462^(H8802), hear^H8085^(H8798) the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068;

⁸ “As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds didn’t search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep,

KJVAs I live^H2416, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, surely because my flock^H6629 became a prey^H957, and my flock^H6629 became meat^H402 to every beast^H2416 of the field^H7704, because there was no shepherd^H7462^(H8802), neither did my shepherds^H7462^(H8802) search^H1875^(H8804) for my flock^H6629, but the shepherds^H7462^(H8802) fed^H7462^(H8799) themselves, and fed^H7462^(H8804) not my flock^H6629;

⁹ therefore, you shepherds, hear Yahweh’s word!”

KJVTherefore, O ye shepherds^H7462^(H8802), hear^H8085^(H8798) the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068;

¹⁰ The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds won’t feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.”

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I am against the shepherds^H7462^(H8802); and I will require^H1875^(H8804) my flock^H6629 at their hand^H3027, and cause them to cease^H7673^(H8689) from feeding^H7462^(H8800) the flock^H6629; neither shall the shepherds^H7462^(H8802) feed^H7462^(H8799) themselves any more; for I will deliver^H5337^(H8689) my flock^H6629 from their mouth^H6310, that they may not be meat^H402 for them.

¹¹ “‘For the Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.

KJVFor thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I, even I, will both search^H1875^(H8804) my sheep^H6629, and seek them out^H1239^(H8765).

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

KJVAs a shepherd^H7462^(H8802) seeketh out^H1243 his flock^H5739 in the day^H3117 that he is among^H8432 his sheep^H6629 that are scattered^H6567^(H8737); so will I seek out^H1239^(H8762) my sheep^H6629, and will deliver^H5337^(H8689) them out of all places^H4725 where they have been scattered^H6327^(H8738) in the cloudy^H6051 and dark^H6205 day^H3117.

¹³ I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

KJVAnd I will bring them out^H3318^(H8689) from the people^H5971, and gather^H6908^(H8765) them from the countries^H776, and will bring^H935^(H8689) them to their own land^H127, and feed^H7462^(H8804) them upon the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478 by the rivers^H650, and in all the inhabited places^H4186 of the country^H776.

¹⁴ I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

KJVI will feed^H7462^(H8799) them in a good^H2896 pasture^H4829, and upon the high^H4791 mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478 shall their fold^H5116 be: there shall they lie^H7257^(H8799) in a good^H2896 fold^H5116, and in a fat^H8082 pasture^H4829 shall they feed^H7462^(H8799) upon the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478.

¹⁵ I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down,” says the Lord Yahweh.

KJVI will feed^H7462^(H8799) my flock^H6629, and I will cause them to lie down^H7257^(H8686), saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹⁶ “I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back 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 in justice.”’

KJVI will seek^H1245^(H8762) that which was lost^H6^(H8802), and bring again^H7725^(H8686) that which was driven away^H5080^(H8737), and will bind up^H2280^(H8799) that which was broken^H7665^(H8737), and will strengthen^H2388^(H8762) that which was sick^H2470^(H8802): but I will destroy^H8045^(H8686) the fat^H8082 and the strong^H2389; I will feed^H7462^(H8799) them with judgment^H4941.

¹⁷ “As for you, O my flock, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.

KJVAnd as for you^H859, O my flock^H6629, thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I judge^H8199^(H8802) between cattle^H7716 and cattle^H7716, between the rams^H352 and the he goats^H6260.

¹⁸ Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue with your feet?

KJVSeemeth it a small thing^H4592 unto you to have eaten up^H7462^(H8799) the good^H2896 pasture^H4829, but ye must tread down^H7429^(H8799) with your feet^H7272 the residue^H3499 of your pastures^H4829? and to have drunk^H8354^(H8799) of the deep^H4950 waters^H4325, but ye must foul^H7515^(H8799) the residue^H3498^(H8737) with your feet^H7272?

¹⁹ As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.’

KJVAnd as for my flock^H6629, they eat^H7462^(H8799) that which ye have trodden^H4823 with your feet^H7272; and they drink^H8354^(H8799) that which ye have fouled^H4833 with your feet^H7272.

²⁰ “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says to them: ‘Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

KJVTherefore thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge^H8199^(H8804) between the fat^H1274 cattle^H7716 and between the lean^H7330 cattle^H7716.

²¹ Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad,

KJVBecause ye have thrust^H1920^(H8799) with side^H6654 and with shoulder^H3802, and pushed^H5055^(H8762) all the diseased^H2470^(H8737) with your horns^H7161, till ye have scattered^H6327^(H8689) them abroad^H2351;

²² therefore I will save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.

KJVTherefore will I save^H3467^(H8689) my flock^H6629, and they shall no more be a prey^H957; and I will judge^H8199^(H8804) between cattle^H7716 and cattle^H7716.

²³ I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.

KJVAnd I will set up^H6965^(H8689) one^H259 shepherd^H7462^(H8802) over them, and he shall feed^H7462^(H8804) them, even my servant^H5650 David^H1732; he shall feed^H7462^(H8799) them, and he shall be their shepherd^H7462^(H8802).

²⁴ I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them. I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

KJVAnd I the LORD^H3068 will be their God^H430, and my servant^H5650 David^H1732 a prince^H5387 among^H8432 them; I the LORD^H3068 have spoken^H1696^(H8765) it.

²⁵ “‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

KJVAnd I will make^H3772^(H8804) with them a covenant^H1285 of peace^H7965, and will cause the evil^H7451 beasts^H2416 to cease^H7673^(H8689) out of the land^H776: and they shall dwell^H3427^(H8804) safely^H983 in the wilderness^H4057, and sleep^H3462^(H8804) in the woods^H3293^(H8675)^H3264.

²⁶ I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing.

KJVAnd I will make^H5414^(H8804) them and the places round about^H5439 my hill^H1389 a blessing^H1293; and I will cause the shower^H1653 to come down^H3381^(H8689) in his season^H6256; there shall be showers^H1653 of blessing^H1293.

²⁷ The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.

KJVAnd the tree^H6086 of the field^H7704 shall yield^H5414^(H8804) her fruit^H6529, and the earth^H776 shall yield^H5414^(H8799) her increase^H2981, and they shall be safe^H983 in their land^H127, and shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068, when I have broken^H7665^(H8800) the bands^H4133 of their yoke^H5923, and delivered^H5337^(H8689) them out of the hand^H3027 of those that served^H5647^(H8802) themselves of them.

²⁸ They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid.

KJVAnd they shall no more be a prey^H957 to the heathen^H1471, neither shall the beast^H2416 of the land^H776 devour^H398^(H8799) them; but they shall dwell^H3427^(H8804) safely^H983, and none shall make them afraid^H2729^(H8688).

²⁹ I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more.

KJVAnd I will raise up^H6965^(H8689) for them a plant^H4302 of renown^H8034, and they shall be no more consumed^H622^(H8803) with hunger^H7458 in the land^H776, neither bear^H5375^(H8799) the shame^H3639 of the heathen^H1471 any more.

³⁰ They will know that I, Yahweh, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord Yahweh.

KJVThus shall they know^H3045^(H8804) that I the LORD^H3068 their God^H430 am with them, and that they, even the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, are my people^H5971, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

³¹ You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

KJVAnd ye^H859 my flock^H6629, the flock^H6629 of my pasture^H4830, are men^H120, and I am your God^H430, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.
