יִשְׁגּוּ צֹאנִי בְּכָל־הֶהָרִים וְעַל כָּל־גִּבְעָה רָמָה וְעַל כָּל־פְּנֵי הָאָרֶץ נָפֹצוּ צֹאנִי וְאֵין דּוֹרֵשׁ וְאֵין מְבַקֵּֽשׁ
My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, yea, upon all the face of the earth were My sheep scattered, and there was none that did search or seek.
לָכֵן רֹעִים שִׁמְעוּ אֶת־דְּבַר יְהוָֽה
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אִם־לֹא יַעַן הֱיֽוֹת־צֹאנִי לָבַז וַתִּֽהְיֶינָה צֹאנִי לְאָכְלָה לְכָל־חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה מֵאֵין רֹעֶה וְלֹֽא־דָרְשׁוּ רֹעַי אֶת־צֹאנִי וַיִּרְעוּ הָֽרֹעִים אוֹתָם וְאֶת־צֹאנִי לֹא רָעֽוּ
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely forasmuch as My sheep became a prey, and My sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did My shepherds search for My sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not My sheep;
לָכֵן הָֽרֹעִים שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר־יְהוָֽה
therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי אֶֽל־הָרֹעִים וְֽדָרַשְׁתִּי אֶת־צֹאנִי מִיָּדָם וְהִשְׁבַּתִּים מֵרְעוֹת צֹאן וְלֹא־יִרְעוּ עוֹד הָרֹעִים אוֹתָם וְהִצַּלְתִּי צֹאנִי מִפִּיהֶם וְלֹֽא־תִהְיֶיןָ לָהֶם לְאָכְלָֽה
Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require My sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver My sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
