1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says the Lord.
2 Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, says against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings,” says the Lord.
3 “I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they will be fruitful and multiply.
4 I will set up shepherds over them, who will feed them. They will no longer be afraid or dismayed, neither will any be lacking,” says the Lord.
5 “Behold, the days come,” says the Lord,“that I will raise to David a righteous Branch,and he will reign as king and deal wisely,and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved,and Israel will dwell safely.This is his name by which he will be called:the Lord our righteousness.
