1 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 son: child man to prophesy upon to pasture Israel to prophesy and to say to(wards) them to/for to pasture thus to say Lord YHWH/God woe! to pasture Israel which to be to pasture [obj] them not [the] flock to pasture [the] to pasture
“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who only feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed their flock?
3 [obj] [the] fat to eat and [obj] [the] wool to clothe [the] fat to sacrifice [the] flock not to pasture
You eat the fat, wear the wool, and butcher the fattened sheep, but you do not feed the flock.
4 [obj] [the] be weak: weak not to strengthen: strengthen and [obj] [the] be weak: ill not to heal and to/for to break not to saddle/tie and [obj] [the] to banish not to return: return and [obj] [the] to perish not to seek and in/on/with force to rule [obj] them and in/on/with severity
You have not strengthened the weak, healed the sick, bound up the injured, brought back the strays, or searched for the lost. Instead, you have ruled them with violence and cruelty.

They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.
6 to wander flock my in/on/with all [the] mountain: mount and upon all hill to exalt and upon all face: surface [the] land: country/planet to scatter flock my and nothing to seek and nothing to seek
My flock went astray on all the mountains and every high hill. They were scattered over the face of all the earth, with no one to search for them or seek them out.’

Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,
9 to/for so [the] to pasture to hear: hear word LORD
therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’
10 thus to say Lord YHWH/God look! I to(wards) [the] to pasture and to seek [obj] flock my from hand their and to cease them from to pasture flock and not to pasture still [the] to pasture [obj] them and to rescue flock my from lip their and not to be to/for them to/for food
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’
11 for thus to say Lord YHWH/God look! I I and to seek [obj] flock my and to enquire them
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.
12 like/as seeking to pasture flock his in/on/with day to be he in/on/with midst flock his to declare so to enquire [obj] flock my and to rescue [obj] them from all [the] place which to scatter there in/on/with day cloud and cloud
As a shepherd looks for his scattered sheep when he is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
13 and to come out: send them from [the] people and to gather them from [the] land: country/planet and to come (in): bring them to(wards) land: soil their and to pasture them to(wards) mountain: mount Israel in/on/with channel and in/on/with all seat [the] land: country/planet

I will feed them in good pasture, and the lofty mountains of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in a good grazing land; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15 I to pasture flock my and I to stretch them utterance Lord YHWH/God
I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.
16 [obj] [the] to perish to seek and [obj] [the] to banish to return: return and to/for to break to saddle/tie and [obj] [the] be weak: weak to strengthen: strengthen and [obj] [the] rich and [obj] [the] strong to destroy to pasture her in/on/with justice
I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and strengthen the weak; but the sleek and strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them with justice.’

This is what the Lord GOD says to you, My flock: ‘I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the goats.
18 little from you [the] pasture [the] pleasant to pasture and remainder pasture your to trample in/on/with foot your and clarified water to drink and [obj] [the] to remain in/on/with foot your to foul [emph?]
Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink the clear waters? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?
19 and flock my trampling foot your to pasture and mud foot your to drink
Why must My flock feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied?’
20 to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God to(wards) them look! I I and to judge between sheep fat and between sheep lean
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
21 because in/on/with side and in/on/with shoulder to thrust and in/on/with horn your to gore all [the] be weak: weak till which to scatter [obj] them to(wards) [the] outside [to]
Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,
22 and to save to/for flock my and not to be still to/for plunder and to judge between sheep to/for sheep
I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.
