Ezekiel 34:5 Context
3Yee eate the fat, and ye clothe you with the wooll, yee kill them that are fed: but ye feede not the flocke. 4The diseased haue ye not strengthened, neither haue yee healed that which was sicke, neither haue ye bound vp that which was broken, neither haue yee brought againe that which was driuen away, neither haue yee sought that which was lost; but with force and with crueltie haue yee ruled them. 5And they were scattered because there is no shepheard: and they became meate to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 6My sheepe wandered through all the mountaines, and vpon euery high hill: yea my flocke was scattered vpon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seeke after them. 7¶ Therefore, yee shepheards, heare the word of the Lord.
