nkjv Ezekiel:34:4-12 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The weak you have not strengthened ,
nor have you healed those who were sick ,
nor bound up the broken ,
nor brought back what was driven away ,
nor sought what was lost ;
but with force and cruelty you have ruled them .
*
So they were scattered because there was no shepherd ;
and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered .
*
My sheep wandered through all the mountains ,
and on every high hill ;
yes ,
My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth ,
and no one was seeking or searching for them ."
* "
Therefore ,
you shepherds ,
hear the word of the LORD :
* "
As I live ,"
says the Lord GOD , "
surely because My flock became a prey ,
and My flock became food for every beast of the field ,
because there was no shepherd ,
nor did My shepherds search for My flock ,
but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock "--
*
therefore ,
O shepherds ,
hear the word of the LORD !
*
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Behold ,
I am against the shepherds ,
and I will require My flock at their hand ;
I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep ,
and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more ;
for I will deliver My flock from their mouths ,
that they may no longer be food for them ."
* "
For thus says the Lord GOD : "
Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out .
*
As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep ,
so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day .
