In Ezekiel: “Wherefore thus saith the Lord,

‹ Book 1 · Section 13 Book 1 · Section 14 ›

Behold

,

I

am

above

the

shepherds

;

and

I

will

require

my

sheep

from

their

hands

,

and

I

will

turn

them

away

from

feeding

my

sheep

;

and

they

shall

feed

them

no

more

,

and

I

will

deliver

my

sheep

from

their

mouth

,

and

I

will

feed

them

with

judgment

.

”

In

Jeremiah

the

Lord

says

:

“

And

I

will

give

you

shepherds

according

to

my

own

heart

,

and

they

shall

feed

you

with

the

food

of

discipline

.

”

In

Jeremiah

,

moreover

:

“

Hear

the

word

of

the

Lord

,

ye

nations

,

and

tell

it

to

the

islands

which

are

afar

off

.

Say

,

He

that

scattereth

Israel

will

gather

him

,

and

will

keep

him

as

a

shepherd

his

flock

:

for

the

Lord

hath

redeemed

Jacob

,

and

taken

him

out

from

the

hand

of

him

that

was

stronger

than

he

.
