GOD

Sonne of man, prophecie against the shepheards of Israel, prophecie and say vnto them, Thus saith the LORD God vnto the shepheards, Woe be to the shepheards of Israel that doe feede themselues: should not the shepheards feede the flockes?

1611 marginal noteIere. 23.1.

As I liue, saith the LORD God, surely because my flocke became a pray, and my flocke became meate to euery beast of the field, because there was no shepheard, neither did my shepheards search for my flocke, but the shepheards fed themselues, and fed not my flocke:

Thus saith the LORD God, Behold, I am against the shepheards, and I will require my flocke at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flocke, neither shall the shepheards feede themselues any more: for I will deliuer my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

¶ For thus saith the LORD God, Behold, I, euen I will both search my sheepe, and seeke them out.

I will feed my flocke, and I will cause them to lie downe, saith the LORD God.

And as for you, O my flocke, thus saith the LORD God, Behold, I iudge betweene cattell and cattell, betweene the rammes and the hee goates.

¶ Therefore thus saith the LORD God vnto them, Behold, I, euen I will iudge betweene the fat cattell, and betweene the leane cattell.

Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, euen the house of Israel, are my people, saith the LORD God.

And yee my flocke of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lo God.
