Ezekiel 34:8 in Context — Ezekiel 34
6 Y anduvieron perdidas mis ovejas por todos los montes, y en todo collado alto: y en toda la haz de la tierra fueron derramadas mis ovejas, y no hubo quien buscase, ni quien requiriese.
7 Por tanto, pastores, oid palabra de Jehová:
8 Vivo yo, ha dicho el Señor Jehová, que por cuanto mi rebaño fué para ser robado, y mis ovejas fueron para ser comidas de toda bestia del campo, sin pastor; ni mis pastores buscaron mis ovejas, sino que los pastores se apacentaron á sí mismos, y no apacentaron mis ovejas;
9 Por tanto, oh pastores, oid palabra de Jehová:
10 Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: He aquí, yo á los pastores; y requeriré mis ovejas de su mano, y haréles dejar de apacentar las ovejas: ni los pastores se apacentarán más á sí mismos; pues yo libraré mis ovejas de sus bocas, y no les serán más por comida.
