33:29. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made
their land waste and desolate, for all their abominations which they
have committed.
33:30. And thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of
thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to
another each man to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is
the word that cometh forth from the Lord.
33:31. And they come to thee, as if people were coming in, and my people
sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them
into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their
covetousness.
33:32. And thou art to them as a musical song which is sung with a sweet
and agreeable voice: and they hear thy words, and do them not.
33:33. And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, for behold
it is coming, then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
Ezechiel Chapter 34
Evil pastors are reproved. Christ the true pastor shall come, and gather
together his flock from all parts of the earth, and preserve it for
ever.
34:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, it saying:
34:2. Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel: prophesy,
and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds
of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the flocks be fed by the
shepherds?
Shepherds... That is, princes, magistrates, chief priests, and scribes.
34:3. You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and
you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.
34:4. The weak you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you
have not healed, that which was broken you have not bound up, and that
which was driven away you have not brought again, neither have you
sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and
with a high hand.
34:5. And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd and
they became the prey of all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
34:6. My sheep have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill:
and my flocks were scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was
none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them.
34:7. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
34:8. As I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been
made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the
field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek
after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks:
34:9. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
34:10. Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds,
I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease
from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed
themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and
it shall no more be meat for them.
34:11. For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep,
and will visit them.
34:12. As the shepherd visiteth his flock in the day when he shall be in
the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep,
and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been
scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
34:13. And I will bring them out from the peoples, and will gather them
out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will
feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the
habitations of the land.
34:14. I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their
pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest
on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of
Israel.
