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.
כִּי כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי־אָנִי וְדָרַשְׁתִּי אֶת־צֹאנִי וּבִקַּרְתִּֽים
For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, here am I, and I will search for My sheep, and seek them out.
