²² I will make my flock safe, and they will no longer be taken away, and I will be judge between sheep and sheep.

¹² For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.

¹³ He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.

¹⁴ He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes.

² So this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said against the keepers who have the care of my people: You have let my flock be broken up, driving them away and not caring for them; see, I will send on you the punishment for the evil of your doings, says the Lord.

³ And I will get the rest of my flock together from all the countries where I have sent them, and will make them come back again to their resting-place; and they will have offspring and be increased.

¹⁰ This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I will take my sheep out of their mouths so that they may not be food for them.

⁷ So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.

⁸ And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.

⁹ And I said, I will not take care of you: If death comes to any, let death be its fate; if any is cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest take one another's flesh for food.
