34:1 The ‘shepherds’ of Yisrael (Israel)

34Then Yahweh gave me another message: 2“Humanity’s child, prophesy against Yisrael’s shepherds. Prophesy and tell them that the master Yahweh says this to the shepherds: Yisrael’s shepherds who are shepherding themselves won’t end well. Shouldn’t shepherds guard the flock? 3You eat the best sheep meat and dress in woollen clothes. You slaughter the fat lambs. You don’t shepherd at all. 4You haven’t taken care of those with diseases, nor do you heal those who are ill. You don’t bandage up the ones with broken limbs, and you don’t restore the outcasts or search for those who’ve gone missing. Instead, you use strength and violence to rule over them. 5Then they were scattered without a shepherd, and after they were scattered, they became food for all the wild animals in the countryside.[ref] 6My flock have strayed across all the mountains and on every high hill, and it’s dispersed over the entire surface of the earth, yet no one is searching for them.

7Therefore, you shepherds, listen to Yahweh’s message to you: 8This is the master Yahweh’s declaration: As I live, my flock has become plunder and food for all the wild animals in the countryside because there wasn’t any shepherd and because none of my shepherds tried to find any of my flock that had gotten lost. Instead it was themselves that the shepherds looked after, and they didn’t shepherd my flock. 9Therefore, you ‘so-called’ shepherds, liste to Yahweh’s message: 10The Lord Yahweh says this: Listen, I’m against those shepherds. I’ll require compensation from them for my flock, and then I’ll dismiss them from shepherding the flock. Those shepherds won’t shepherd themselves any longer either, because I’ll take my flock away from their mouths, so that my flock won’t become food for them any longer.


34and_ the_message_of _he/it_was of_YHWH to_me to_say.
2Oh_son_of humankind prophesy on the_shepherds_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) prophesy and_say to_them to_the_shepherds thus[fn] he_says my_master YHWH woe_to the_shepherds_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) who they_have_been shepherding DOM_themselves am_not the_flock will_they_shepherd the_shepherds.
3DOM the_fat you_all_eat and_DOM the_wool you_clothe_yourselves the_fat you_all_slaughter the_flock not you_all_shepherd.
4DOM the_weak not you_all_have_strengthened and_DOM the_sick not you_all_have_healed and_with_respect_to_the_injured not you_all_have_bound_up and_DOM the_strays not you_all_have_brought_back and_DOM the_lost not you_all_have_sought and_in/on/at/with_force you_all_have_ruled DOM_them and_in/on/at/with_harshness.
5And_scattered because_there_was_no_of a_shepherd and_became for_food to/from_all/each/any/every (the)_animal_of the_field and_scattered.
6flock_of_my They_wander in_all the_mountains and_on every_of hill high and_over all_of the_surface_of the_earth/land flock_of_my they_have_been_scattered and_there_was_no one_who_searches and_there_was_no one_who_seeks.
7For_so/thus/hence Oh_shepherds hear DOM the_message_of YHWH.
8by_the_life of_me the_utterance_of my_master YHWH if not because has_become flock_of_my as_prey and_become flock_of_my for_food to/from_all/each/any/every (the)_animal_of the_field since_no a_shepherd and_not they_have_searched_for shepherds_of_my DOM flock_of_my and_fed the_shepherds DOM_themselves and_DOM flock_of_my not they_have_shepherded.
9for_so/thus/hence the_shepherds hear the_message_of YHWH.
10Thus my_master he_says YHWH look_I am_against the_shepherds and_demand DOM flock_of_my at_hand_of_them and_put_a_stop_them from_feeding a_flock and_not they_will_shepherd again the_shepherds DOM_themselves and_rescue flock_of_my from_mouths_of_their and_not they_will_become to/for_them for_food.

34:2 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
